Building Better Teams

Today I’m doing a solo show talking about building  better teams.  In this episode  I talk about the following:

  • Foundation
  • Interior
  • Refinements
  • Exterior

    • FIRE is the acronym I use when describing building in this talk.  Under each heading I discuss things I feel are important.

    Foundation
    • Leadership.  Pulling vs. Pushing
    • Cultural Norms (IT Code)
      • We Act Like an Owner
      • We Have Each Other’s Back

      • We Question our Assumptions
      • We Think Big and Start Small
      • We Don’t Create Waves, We Ride Them
      • We Are Intentional About Our Work
      • We Fail Fast and Recover Faster
      • We Are Not Experts, And Will Keep the Posture of a Student, Always Learning
      • We Make the Complex Seem Simple
      • We Make Life Easier for Those Around Us
      • We Are Here to Serve, not Be Served
        • Interior

          • Carrots and Sticks
          • If / Then
