Building an Engineering Structure
summary
Recommends hire top talent first and then organize around those leaders so hiring drives structure rather than predefined boxes, favors project-based teams with clear ownership over horizontal functional matrices, prescribes a deliberate mix of seniority so juniors do execution and seniors mentor and take complex work, assigns each office a limited set of responsibilities with local office identities and local leaders, treats trust as the mechanism for delegation and growth and prioritizes agility over rigid structure.
