Description

Jason opens with some honest reactions to a few critical reviews and then gives a practical, step-by-step summary of how to build a team, something a team can start using the next day. He starts with people first: the right people on the bus and in the right seats. He then covers the team leader's role, clarifying what the team expects from each role, building trust through proximity, personality profiles, and getting to know each other, practicing healthy conflict, giving the team a visual performance goal, and using team assessments. Along the way he shares exercises like writing expectations for each role on stickies, a personal histories round, and putting issues in a "bowl" on the table.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• The order of operations: the right people on the bus, in the right seats, then a leader who builds the team, holds people accountable, and scales clarity
• A role-clarity exercise: have the team write what they expect from a role (not a person) on stickies
• Three ways to build trust: proximity, personality profiles and "this is me" documents, and getting to know each other through personal histories and sharing appreciation
• How to practice healthy conflict by writing issues on stickies and putting them in the middle of the table
• How to align a team around a visual performance goal, such as a Takt plan and weekly work plan for the field and a Scrum board for the office, and where to find team assessments

Which one step from this list could you try with your team before your next meeting?
