Foster Cross-Department CollaborationEncourage seamless integration between product, engineering, and business teams to improve communication and execution.When you collaborate, everyone wins.4. Value People Over ProcessesFocus on leveraging your team member’s strengths and skills rather than sticking to nonsense processes.Don’t ever call people RESOURCES!That’s not how we want to treat each other.5.
