What to expect from this newsletter

And what is research-driven engineering leadership?

Welcome to RDEL. We’re bringing the latest in research on behavioral science and engineering effectiveness to answer challenging topics in engineering leadership. This newsletter was inspired by our own internal “Research Mondays”, where we review relevant leadership to improve our product at Quotient.

Here’s what you can expect:

• A relevant topic about engineering leadership: Each Monday we’ll cover a single topic in engineering leadership. Engineer effectiveness, onboarding, leadership, communication, collaboration - anything goes. Have a topic you want us to cover? Email us!

• Research-backed expertise on the topic, summarized: For each question we’ll dive into relevant, recent research studies that relate to each topics. These will vary in style from on-the-field studies at FAANG companies to experiments run at large research institutions. The common theme is the application towards engineering teams.

• Direct application to your engineering team: what makes this newsletter different is how we apply research to making engineering teams better. With each edition, you’ll walk away with actionable tips to improve your team.

If you have any topics or broader suggestions to share, please email us anytime. Welcome, and enjoy!
