I’ve been documenting @RootPlatform’s culture over the last few months as our team is working to bring insurance to the internet age.

Here are the 8 virtues our high performance team follows on a daily basis: 🧵

[Root @RootPlatform]

“Being a software engineer at Root is incredibly rewarding! Such a great environment to collaborate with brilliant tech minds, take ownership of my work and grow in my career.”

Thanks Glenn Madzonga! We appreciate you too 🚀

We started a book club at Root to encourage learning in our team. On Thursday we met to discuss this month's book, The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg.

If you’d like to see some other books that we’ve enjoyed, take a look Root’s reading list here: https://t.co/MGPPbQYCRQ

In practice, not reinventing the wheel means checking our egos, recognising that we’re not experts in every domain and finding the people who are. As far as possible, we implement tried-and-tested solutions, adapting them to our unique situation.

We asked our team what they enjoyed most about Root. We got a lot of love, including this gem from Chelsea Frost:

“I love the sub-culture of adventure that exists at Root. We often have conversations about epic hikes, new camp spots and encouragement for outdoor experiences.”

[Root @RootPlatform]

Last week, @hermux spoke to the Root team about his journey building and managing @EskomSePush with his partner Dan Wells. He took us through the tools they use to manage the app and demoed some cool features like this one which changes the content on the app in real time.

Choosing simplicity over complexity always works.

Although we recognise the temptation of complex systems, problem statements and solutions, our Keep it Simple virtue helps us avoid distraction and stay focused on what matters.
