Teams and People

Design leaders develop teams that deliver impactful work while growing personally and professionally. While sometimes we focus solely on hiring and performance management, people leadership encompasses every aspect of how teams work together and develop over time.

This includes:

• Team Structure: Organizational structure, team dynamics, and team-wide goals
• Talent Development: Career frameworks, skill development, and growth opportunities
• Performance Management: Feedback and coaching, goal setting, and performance reviews
• Team Health: Monitoring workload and capacity, work-life balance, and team wellbeing
• Hiring and Retention: Intentional and equitable hiring, onboarding, and retention strategies
• Communication: Change management, delivering bad news, information sharing, and feedback channels
• Culture Building: Creating shared practices, building traditions, and fostering creativity
