Sr. Design Program Manager, Dropbox
Work habits and collaborative norms form organically, often without intentional design. Norms that are formed by most people on a team may not always account for or include everyone on a team. How might we approach this process in an inclusive way? How might we take personal ownership of defining and co-creating partnerships? How might we work to make our cultural norms explicit? In this talk, we will explore what it means to design culture from a place of values to build stronger, more effective connections on your team.
