The Team Working Agreement - Secret Sauce to Achieve High-Performing Teams

A Team Working Agreement is more than just a document—it’s the foundation for trust, collaboration, and accountability within Agile teams. By defining shared expectations, communication norms, and conflict resolution strategies, this "secret sauce" helps transform good teams into great ones. When teams co-create their working agreement, they foster a sense of ownership and alignment, which boosts productivity, transparency, and overall performance. Discover how implementing a Team Working Agreement can be the game-changer your team needs to reach high-performance and drive lasting success.

What is the Difference Between Self Centric and Customer Centric Business Focus?

Self-centric focus will never build a customer-centric business

Is your org structure customer-centered?

Many companies organize their sales, marketing, and service departments by:

[1] products

[2] regions

They do this for efficiency or because such a structure is easier to manage.

Business is about the exchange of value between a company and its customers.

Customers don’t care if managing your company is easy for you.

The only strategy to build a customer-centric business is to design your org structure around customer segments.

A Manager is NOT Supposed to Be In Charge of Their Team...

A group of Amazon leaders attended a leadership training summit.

During the retreat, they were told the following:

You are not in charge; rather, you are responsible for the people in your charge.

How true.

Beyond Christmas vibes and New Year excitement, December is also a month of hope, somewhat false promises to our future selves, and, well, a lot of reflection. It is that time of the year when the internet is flooded with advice on setting New Year resolutions.

Understanding The Lost Art of Focus

Social media, stress and the craving for dopamine made us lose our ability to pay sustained attention. So much so that 80% of people reading this article will not reach the end (and surprisingly, it’s not — all — your fault).

This episode was inspired by an email I received from Mike Cohn. It is my turn to challenge you..

"Hi, I’m Joel, and I'll be your server tonight.”
I was out to dinner last week, and that was how the waiter introduced himself. Actually, he wasn’t our waiter. As he’d said, he was to be our server.
A small distinction perhaps, but as a writer I think words are important. The difference here struck me for some reason that night.
Throughout the meal, Joel did serve us. He had help with things like carrying plates from the kitchen and filling the wine and water glasses. But he was clearly interested in serving.
He recommended wines, subtly steered us away from some menu choices (“I prefer our fish dishes”), encouraged splitting one of the salads but ordering two appetizer choices, and did everything he could to ensure we had a great meal.
As the year winds down and I think about the emails I’ll send you next year, the YouTube videos I’ll create, the blog posts I’ll write, and the new courses I’ll create, I want to make sure I am serving you.
 

Please comment below and let me know. I can’t bring you an appetizer or recommend a good Pinot to pair with your next retrospective, but I can promise to address topics that will help you succeed with agile.
