Bruce Tate on Multipliers
Bruce Tate has an interesting post titled “An Alternate Means of Propultion”, where he discusses ways to find multipliers to make your business and your team more productive. He discusses three ways to find multipliers:
- Team size - Want to supercharge your productivity? Go from large teams to small. Can’t find enough talent? Pay more.
- Technology - Find those frameworks that are 10X as productive
- Attitude - Make your team fun and prevent burnout
So, if you are in any sort of technical leadership, have a read and think about how you can find those multipliers to make your team, and your business, more effective.
BTW, I had lunch with Bruce last week and had a great time chatting about his new book and business. Check out his book, whether you are already a fan of Ruby or just a Java person looking to find out more about what this Ruby and Rails thing is and how it can help your team and your business.
