Prioritizing Flexibility and Functionality
💭 Prioritizing Flexibility and Functionality
Design should focus on flexibility and functionality over aesthetics.
Every organization has its domain, which defines its expertise and operational environment.
The domain model formalizes the organization's processes without changing the environment. When gathering information, listen to people's needs and consider their requirements.
Formalize the information in code using their language rather than yours.
Test-Driven Development (TDD) is a valuable tool that allows us to confirm our design decisions by providing feedback. Yet, testing confirms but only sometimes affirms. Testing principles offer a flexible and cost-effective way to extend a system.

👓 Membership Mindset promotes a flat organizational structure
To encourage a sense of belonging and freedom to renew and take part:
1. Embrace a membership mindset.
2. Instead of relying on infrequent major restructuring, encourage teams to reorganize.
3. Embrace new structures and policies instead of being confined by outdated ones.
Leaders can join teams as active participants or provide advisory support at the start of projects or upon request.
Focus on what is necessary for success and consider the trades involved. Leadership is not a title; it's a set of skills. Being a manager only sometimes makes you a great leader. Developing these skills takes time and effort, and the process begins long before you're promoted.
Take your time with a leadership role to start building your abilities. The journey to becoming a great leader is ongoing and never ends. It's a process that requires dedication and commitment. The good news is that anyone can learn to be a leader, regardless of their job title.
You don't need authority over others to lead.
