- Treat your team like their adults, not children, and respect them like such.
- Also, be transparent and clear with them. Hiding things or beating around the bush just wastes everyone's time.
- Give them autonomy to explore new tech when they get the itch, and you'll likely get better results and keep your team active and engaged.
- Embrace the blameless culture. Failures and bugs happen. Being hostile about it means people are more likely to hide stuff and not be up front about things. Not to say it shouldn't be addressed if it becomes a problem, but everyone's going to mess up sometime. Also, it's your job to make sure that any heat from on-high doesn't come down on them.
