Team

We suggest getting back to basic principles and steering away from complicated software-heavy solutions to what are mostly human challenges.

Without planning we are directionless. Without prioritization we are lost in a sea of possibilities. Without execution we can’t move forward.

But a group of individuals—even technically excellent ones—with no training on how to play with one another will not perform to their potential as a team.

Our aim, finally, is to reduce burnout, to restore integrity, to decrease flare-ups caused by the stress of being overwhelmed, and to help leaders and teams to generate sustainable cultures of healthy high performance.

“How do we perform with excellence in a way that is more human than what we’ve been doing until now?”

We believe that helping teams work more effectively is the biggest opportunity to positively impact individual performance, team outcomes, and the organizations in which both operate.

In this book we are moving away from the individual level to cover ideas that will, in the end, benefit the individual as well as the team by helping teams do a better job of minimizing friction, enhancing collaboration, and reducing the organizational equivalent of bad passes: messages answered late, or not at all; delayed starts on meetings; undo

What level of performance can we sustain over time without damaging the people on the team, their relationships, or the environment?

infinite growth exists nowhere in nature without cost.
