Unlocking High Performing Engineering with Learnings from Behavioral Psychology by Mike Bryzek, Blaga Lund
High performing teams are critical to the success of any business. As technology leaders, we will often be measured on our ability to cultivate a culture that leads to high performing teams. A critical place to start is to first understand how people really work - how our brains function and react to the information we share and receive. There is much we can learn and adapt from the field of behavioral psychology to create the environment necessary for teams to thrive, delivering both high business value while delivering robust technology solutions that scale.
