Episode 33 – Team Life II – Building Teams With Beer

Listen Later
A high-performing team doesn’t just evolve naturally.  What are some of the things you can do that will help kick-start team synergy, trust, and communication, even on day 1?

  • There’s a hack I use that is a hybrid of techniques for building trust, likability, understanding and acceptance
  • Take them to a bar
  • Ask 2 simple questions:
    • Why do you get up every morning and come to do this job?
    • What is something you think very few people know about you?
    • These work to expose vision and passion – usually if the first doesn’t exist, the second still does – that you can use to anchor future conversations and find common ground.
    • This technique is fast to use, easy to remember, and super effective.
    • For even greater results, establish an culture of ‘helping you get what you want’
    • If you want a truly elite team, you want some kind of crucible experience.  Easy to do in the Marines, not so easy in a corporate setting.  You’ll be surprised at my favourite substitutes.
