One of the most powerful lessons on teamwork that I learned while working at Dropbox is that a team’s default norms and tools have a *huge* effect on how connected and productive people are. When you use tools designed to promote transparent, collaborative behavior, there can be a real and substantial effect on how people work together. Even a single product feature can play a part in shaping a team’s culture for the better.
It turns out technology isn’t just about making things faster or making processes simpler. Technology can help people feel empowered to take action and move forward. Technology can help people feel confident about the work that they’ve done. Technology can help people stay accountable to their teammates. And technology can help people feel recognized for the great work that they do every day.
I’m so proud of the amazing people that worked on viewer info. Thank you all!
