SO excited for @lrnrd’s talk on inclusive high performing distributed teams.
First up she reminds us of what high performing teams need:
- Psychological safety
- Dependability
- Structure & clarity
- Meaning & impact

“Don’t underestimate the power of the #random channel. It’s cool to know a colleague made a great sourdough loaf this weekend, and another built some amazing Lego w their kids. We need to hone connection on a day to day basis, and acknowledge our humanness” @lrnrd #LeadDevBerlin
“Connection:
- Build trust
- Make space for humanness
- Define expectations
- Grow together #gratitude channel & feedback
- Stay aligned: connect to the bigger picture
- Address remote loneliness
- Share context: deliberately add nuance & perspective“ @lrnrd #LeadDevBerlin
“Collaboration:
- Stay humble (be aware of power dynamics)
- Build relationships: the foundation of our work
- Combat hero culture: fix structural issues
- Learn together: the power of admitting what we don’t know“ @lrnrd #LeadDevBerlin
“Communication:
- Default to openness
- Have a plan: be clear on who knows what & when; avoid surprises!
- Document everything: invest in your future selves!
- Write better: write for being understood
- Ask good questions (and genuinely listen)“ @lrnrd #LeadDevBerlin
