Teams don’t fall apart because of code — they fall apart because of people. Not because someone’s dumb, but because everyone’s smart and still can’t act like normal humans.
Every project starts with people, not roles. Forget the titles — “lead,” “PM,” “junior.” If you can’t show who you really are, nobody cares about your job description. People follow personality, not job titles. Be human first.
Second — talk like a person. No robotic emails, no “per our discussion.” Just normal, warm communication. You don’t have to fake politeness, just don’t sound like corporate spam. Good teams talk, great teams understand each other.
Third — take responsibility. Real responsibility, not the one from your job spec. If something’s broken, fix it. If someone forgot, remind them. Don’t hide behind “not my task.” If it’s your project, it’s your problem.
Fourth — respect people’s time. Don’t send useless messages, don’t dump half-baked tasks. Every word, every action should add value. If it doesn’t — delete it.
And last — act, don’t “want.” Less “we should,” more “I did.” Momentum builds trust, and trust builds teams.
In short: be human, be clear, everything else is noise
