Summary

At Railway, they prioritize leverage over management, focusing on building a high-signal, low-noise organization where employees are given autonomy and freedom to work on projects that align with the company's goals. They hire for obsolescence, seeking individuals who will challenge themselves and find innovative solutions, rather than redundancy. The company operates on a "pull-based" model, pushing information daily through channels like project channels and #progress-pics, reducing managerial overhead and allowing employees to focus on coaching, collaborating, and achieving greatness. With a culture of treating people like adults, Railway encourages direct feedback, perpetual learning, and work-life balance, where employees can choose when they're "on" or not. By valuing autonomy, innovation, and personal growth, Railway aims to create an inspiring environment where great things happen.
