What's your team's shadow side?

[Chris Boys]

How do you team? Are you intentional by design?  Or have you stumbled into it and allowing status quo and circumstance to define your success? What’s your team’s shadow side🌗?



‘How Teaming Supercharges Collaboration’ from Insead offers a pithy nudge. 

☠️ In short, blockers to success include prioritising self over peers, withholding information, shifting accountability, resisting responsibility, avoidance.  Does your team have a shadow side?  Have you had the courage to name it, together?

🤠 What good looks like: trust, unemotional problem solving, active learning and aligned action i.e. flow.

Enablers - won’t be a surprise:

🏆 Focus: A shared goal, purpose to contribute to

👭 People: Mindset and actions proactive, tolerant, open to ‘new’, sharing, expertise

⛰️ Platforms: shared values, defined ways of working & guardrails, tools and technologies that enable collaboration, success metrics to track progress and outcomes

🏃🏻‍♀️ Where is your team at on their teaming journey? Which enabler needs most focus to unblock and uncage your team’s flow?

Our team is small, but there is plenty of collaboration and help in time of need.
