Ask Your Developer: How to Harness the Power of Software Developers and Win in the 21st Century
Twilio co-founder and CEO Jeff Lawson is a developer and a CEO. In Ask Your Developer (link in comment), he shares how to transform your company into a software company.
How?
According to Lawson, organisations building industry-changing software products do three things well.
👨💻 First, they understand why software #developers matter more than ever, building competitive advantages through proprietary software instead of outsourcing everything.
💡 Second, they understand developers and know how to motivate them by sharing the software mindset with the whole organisation and considering developers as #creative problem solvers.
🌱 And third, they invest in their developers’ success, creating an open learning environment, empowering individuals to make decisions within small autonomous teams, and designing a great developer experience.
I recommend reading Ask Your Developer to all organisational leaders, especially if you don’t understand your developers 😉
