# Make Each Other Better

Great work should leave the team stronger, not just the project finished.

We want people who make the people around them better. That can mean teaching a skill, sharing context, giving useful feedback, reviewing someone's work thoughtfully, stepping in when a teammate is overloaded, or simply giving credit when someone did something excellent.

This matters even more in a remote company. Knowledge can disappear into private chats and individual heads unless we actively move it into the team.

It also means we should not punish competence. One of the easiest management mistakes is responding to somebody being reliable by giving them every difficult thing until reliability becomes a tax.

## In practice

* Share what you know instead of becoming the only person who knows it.
* Give useful feedback and ask for it.
* Teach the reasoning, not only the answer.
* Credit the people behind the work, including the invisible work.
* Notice when a teammate is overloaded and help solve the system, not just the immediate fire.
* Bring other people into opportunities that will help them grow.
* Leave documents, files and processes easier for the next person to understand.
* Celebrate wins and learn from losses without turning either into theater.

The test is simple: after working closely with you for a year, should the people around you be better at what they do? We hope the answer is yes.
