Team Culture From Your Home Office
summary
Remote work since 2013 and ten years of deliberate practice claim that a vibrant, productive team culture is achievable from home; outcome: a LIMS product built for genetic labs, delivered demos that won contracts and led to acquisition, then culture frictions when productization replaced purpose. Concrete practices that work: translate the company mission (Myriad Genetics: "life-changing Insight revealed") into team-level goals, run pre-deploy demos, schedule shadowing sessions with users, and host recurring optional code labs plus 1:1s and skip-levels to maintain alignment and psychological safety.
