Molly Sands is Head of Teamwork Lab at Atlassian, where she helps distill what makes teams great, the practices, tools, exercises, behaviors and rituals that great teams tick. Built on first person research, delivered by Molly and team from the Teamwork Lab. Results are published regularly via a number channels including the State of Teams report.
I was able to grab some time with Molly in Anaheim at the Atlassian Team '25 show, and surface a wellspring of insight from the latest State of Teams, Personal Productivity, and so much more.
Please join me in welcoming Molly Sands to the Work 20XX podcast
Atlassian's always done things a bit differently. Born in Sydney, scaling from profit not venture, replacing email with JIRA, and building one of the earliest distributed-first cultures.
Thank you Molly
