Can You Manage People?

How do we join with others to achieve, belong and connect more with less friction?

Humans aren't the strongest or the fastest. Our superpower is working together. We are a social creature.

We need to belong and be valued within our tribe.

But we hit 3 main friction points in teams:

1.  We lack trust because of a lack of integrity, suspicion and past resentments.
2.  We don't communicate well because of fear, insecurity and feeling unsafe.
3.  We have divided goals because of politics, power struggles and personality conflicts.

A team is two or more people joined to achieve the same goal. It can be a marriage. Or a multinational organisation.

The principles still apply

Every team needs communication, resources and energy to flow to where we need it when we need it.

The barrier is friction. 

How do we reduce friction and get teams to flow? 

That is the question we address in The Unified Team Podcast.
