Empathy
• Focus on the other people on your team & across
your organization

• Thought patterns to
avoid:
– Throw it over the
wall
– Us vs. them
– Any kind of bigotry
– Race, creed, color,
gender, age, sexual
preference, personal style, etc.

Volunteer mindset
9. A Word to the Managers
• Don’t:
– Assign people to teams
– Assign tasks or projects
to teams
– Determine success
criteria for teams
• Do:
– Provide context for teams (business,
compliance, etc.)
– Ensure that teams have what they need
– Get out of their way

Base your choices on the best
tool or approach for solving the
problem at hand
12. The Bar is Set!
It doesn’t make sense to
hire smart people and
tell them what to do; we
hire smart people so they
can tell us what to do.
– Steve Jobs (allegedly)
