Answer

While we have new and better leadership in place to ensure that silos aren’t getting built, I think we could do better about creating some strategic dependencies across the team. One design principle that we've tried to lean into is where no one team has all of the resources to act autonomously. But there must be a balance in order to avoid creating a very toxic environment. If there's too many strategic dependencies or things slow to a halt, you invite some power struggles that might not otherwise be there.
