Building a best place to work
This week Atlassian was named the #1 Best Workplace in the Netherlands by the Great Place to Work Institute. We were honored and humbled by this news and it really got us thinking: how can we explain our approach to building a consistent (and sometimes award-winning) atmosphere?

The imagination gap: teams, dreams, and the future of women in leadership

Is your team making bad decisions? The culprit is likely your conversations
“Oh no, here we go again,” thought Laura as she sat in her weekly engineering meeting. Two of her engineers, Rob and Rachel were at it again. Arguing back and forth, over and over, about which framework they should choose for their next big project. She had seen this many times before. Team meetings where […]
3 myths that explain why innovation fails
Businesses are terrible at innovating. Sure, recruiters promise innovative jobs, companies claim to sell innovative merchandise, and shareholders rave about innovation.

We made a data visualization of our org chart and it looks surprisingly like a human heart
At Atlassian, we’re constantly studying teamwork. In that research, we know it’s best to start with ourselves; to understand how our teams work together first before applying our knowledge elsewhere. As a data scientist, I naturally turned first to our data. I wanted to create a network graph visualization of our company in order to […]
Team building, in prison
This month, 50 Atlassians participated in a rather unique team-building day. We went to prison. As part of taking the Pledge 1% pledge, Atlassian gives 1% of employee time to social causes. That translates into roughly 5 days each year that Atlassians use for all manner of social good – volunteering at a food bank, […]
How emotionally intelligent leaders build a culture of trust (and why!)
Trust makes doing your job as a leader easier in just about every way imaginable. You don’t have to read up on all the theories around this. You can feel it in your gut. Personally, I know I’ve performed far better under a manager I trusted compared to one that didn’t have my best interests […]
