Doge’s initiatives revolve around the formation of small, four-member teams — a leader, a data engineer, an HR person, and a lawyer. The small size promotes agility in decision-making, contrasting with larger bureaucratic groups that often struggle with coordination.
The leader functions like a tactician from a television heist show, identifying inefficiencies and driving team action. The data engineer analyzes workforce activity to pinpoint redundancies, allowing the team to recognize underperformers and potential eliminations. The HR professional ensures compliance with employment laws and assists in managing sensitive situations. The lawyer safeguards against legal repercussions when modifying employment structures.
