20. I Like This Definition of Team
A small number of people
with complementary skills
(functional, problem solving, decision making,
interpersonal)
who are committed to a common purpose,
set of performance goals
and approach
for which they hold themselves
mutually accountable
21. Important Team Traits for a2i

Commitment to a shared purpose
Mutual accountability
Out-of-the-box thinking
Problem solving
Finishing
22. Trust
• “First seek to
understand,
then to be understood”
• “Trust is knowing that
when a team member
pushes you, they're
doing it because they
care about the team.”
• Diversity
– Strength
– Weakness
23. Commitment to a Shared Purpose
Think big. Start small. Grow fast.
• Commitment is NOT
consensus
• Why does a2i exist?
• What happens if a2i
doesn’t exist?
• No compromise towards
the purpose
• But compromise and find
opportunities for the
pathway
• Commitment to each
other
24. Mutual Accountability
• Fear of conflict
• Ego
• You scratch my back, I
scratch yours
• Key Performance
Indicators
• Tracking progress –
Smartsheets
25. Out-of-the-box Thinking
• Cliche
• What box? Whose box?
• Cannot think outside the box without
knowing the box well
• Finding work-arounds
• Risk
– E3 : Education-Environment-
Employment
– Risk space
– Don’t make the same mistake twice!
– Don’t make the mistake your colleague
made!
26. Collaborative Thinking vs. Groupthink
• Ask why
• Appreciative inquiry
• Six thinking hats
• Withhold judgment
• Same time, same space
– Endless white boards
• Different time,
same space
– Blog
27. Problem Solving
• Whose problems?
• How do we solve them?
• Live in the field. Observe
keenly. Reflect.
• Ask why
• Co-creation
“If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said
faster horses.” -Henry Ford

29. Finishing
• Prioritization – Think with the end in mind
– What am I trying to accomplish in the end?
– What will happen if I complete it?
– What will NOT happen if I do NOT complete it?
• Visualizing process map
– Whom do I depend on?
– Who depends on me?
• Re-prioritization
– Flexibitliy, humility and good judgment
80-20 Rule
30. Remember 4 Things ...
• "The man who gets the most satisfactory results is not always the
man with the most brilliant single mind, but rather the man who
can best coordinate the brains and talents of his associates.” – W.
Alton Jones
• “Don’t compromise on the team’s shared purpose, but may have to
compromise on the path, recognizing right opportunities on the
way.” – a2i
• “Mutual accountability is the willingness of team members to
remind one another when they are not living up to the
performance standards of the team.” – Patrick Lencioni
• “Fail often to succeed sooner.” – Ideo
Use this runway. You may not get this opportunity outside of a2i.
Better, you may create this opportunity outside of a2i.
