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 Choose People over Process
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

Motivation

Carrots and Sticks
If / Then


Serving together as a Team
Playing together as a Team




Refinements

Purpose
Field Trips
Biology of Leadership




Exterior

Give Credit to Individuals and Team
Never Blame Individuals
Create Annual Reports
