leading globally in a remote setting w/ shannon smith
guest: shannon smith, vp of engineering at ona
- keep remote team conversations organized by using dedicated channels for specific squads or groups instead of one big chat
- build in informal time like a 15 minute coffee chat before standups so remote teammates can bond before diving into work
- when planning in person meetups, give people advance notice so they can plan around family and other obligations
- set up a buddy program for new hires so they have a safe person to ask basic questions without feeling judged
- on your resume or linkedin, dont just list technical skills, explain what makes you uniquely valuable compared to other candidates
