Getting the team to follow

- [Instructor] If you ever find you're on a team…that doesn't follow best practices,…don't feel that things need to stay that way.…You can be the first to lead by example.…Take a few weeks to implement conventions…that you wanna follow,…but also take into account any current conventions…the team may have in place.…Then when you see the benefits…of the conventions you've implemented,…write up a short presentation…to explain how this will be better…for the team moving forward,…citing some examples, mentioning things like…consistent code, improving legibility,…improving performance,…and definitely feel free to use credible sources,…such as from Microsoft's websites…covering best practices.…

But most importantly, persuade with diplomacy,…including anything that is in existence…and present this as an idea of how it can…improve the team's collaboration…and prevent potential issues.…Doing this should put you in a good light…and any team that would look at this negatively…is not a team that you wanna be associated with for long.…
