Making teams tick 5 things even I can tell you
Making teams tick 5 things even I can tell you
ThoughtWorks is a company of really smart people - we base our business on it. As part of my job at this company, I am privileged to work with the smartest of the smarts. Some of our best consultants come to ThoughtWorks University and thats what makes the program as good as it is today. On the side, Ive become a bit of repeat practitioner in putting teams together in a high intensity performance environment. Over the last few years in this firm, Ive put together over 20 teams and fortunately each team has made the company proud with its performance. You could say that I know a thing or two about making teams tick. While that may only a be a conjecture, Id like to share with you what Ive learned while working alongside some really smart individuals.Set Context
At ThoughtWorks, my favourite word is context. Context is what we need to perform effectively. Context provides the background for why we do the things the way we do them. Context often illuminates the very meaning of what we do. To set context is perhaps the most important part of building a new team. My colleague Patrick Kua is an absolute hero with setting context. I use a lot of his onboarding patterns to get new teams up to speed with the rationale, background and mechanics of our work.Give them Freedom
I strongly believe that when you put a group of smart people together and they agree on the goal they wish to achieve, they will find effective ways to get there. ThoughtWorks University v2 is a great example of this - even rookies prove this hypothesis. In my time at ThoughtWorks, Ive noticed that its usually enough for me to set context, share some broad guidelines with my new team and then just let them do their thing. Sure, theyll make mistakes. If we can plan some slack to allow people to learn, we can easily mitigate that risk. Sure, theyll need guidance. Thats where my experience comes in.Avoid the postman pattern
One of my previous bosses was a nightmare to work with. All she ever did was pass on work via email. We never caught up, she never worked alongside me or my colleagues. She sat in her ivory tower, while her minions slogged away. I call this the postman pattern. I try to consciously avoid this kind of aloof behaviour. This to some extent has been my Achilles heel as well, but I believe the only way to have influence in a team, is to work within it. For as much as I can, I work with my teams on a daily basis. When I cant work alongside them, I try to step away and remove blockers instead. Theres no point trying to operate by remote control. Either earn your right by working with the team, or be ready to relinquish it.Shorten the feedback loop
Play the facilitator
My colleage at ThoughtWorks, Angela Ferguson often used to speak of her role as a project manager being more like that of a facilitator. I think shes quite right. If we truly want to make our teams succeed then our biggest responsibility is to remove blockers from the way. Quite often its also about absorbing external pressures so the team can perform effectively. Often it also means connecting people to people. This in my view is crucial. There are several problems to which a team may not have solutions. This is where connecting to people outside the strongly knit team helps -- tapping into the power of weak ties. Ive been around for a while. My job gets me to know a lot of people and connect with them on social networks as well. I use this strong network to get my immediate team connected to other ThoughtWorkers when the need comes by.Im obviously no leadership or team building expert. Im sure theres heaps more one could do when setting up and working with new teams. All Ive added here is from my own experience - do you have any ideas you want to add? Feel free to drop them in the comments section of this blogpost. Next week, well be back to my musings on social business.

Lodo w Polsce: ?SK, DDTVN i Radio Young Stars
Jak i za poprzednim razem, pobyt Lodovici w naszym kraju oby? si? szerokim hukiem nie tylko w?ród lokalnych fanów. Tak jak w lutym, W?oszka wyst?pi?a w Dzie?DobryTVN - tym razem z troch? wi?kszym udzia?em w programie, a tak?e w TVP podczas programu "?wiat si? kr?ci". Jak to wszystko wygl?da?o?
Specjalnie z my?l? o Waszej wygodzie, i jak?e owocnych wizytach cudownej panny Comello, stworzyli?my zak?adk?

gdzie znajdziecie wszystkie nasze posty dotycz?ce tematu, czyli relacje z jej wyst?pów, spotka? z fanami, koncertów, akcji koncertowych na LodoLive, wszystko co dotyczy pobytów Lodovici w granicach naszego kraju :)
#Young Stars
To, o czym wie troch? mniejsza cz??? fanów, to wywiad Lodovici dla Radia Young Stars 8 maja, o godzinie 17.00. Zapowied? pad?a dzie? wcze?niej na profilu facebook stacji.
Lodovica Comello na ?ywo w Radio Young Stars !! :) Ju? jutro !!
Posted by Radio Young Stars on 7 maja 2015
Ca?o?? mo?ecie przes?ucha? na bardzo czystym nagraniu na youtubie, zamieszczonym przez w?a?cicielk? twittera @MeEncantaTiniPL.
#?wiat si? kr?ci
To program o charakterze publicystycznym nadawany przez TVP (czyt. Telewizja Polska), na kanale pierwszym, wspó?prowadzony przez Agat? M?ynarsk? i Macieja Kurzajewskiego od nieca?ych dwóch lat. Jest nadawany w pi?tkowe wieczory. W ostatnim odcinku ka?dy widz mia? przyjemno?? us?ysze? na sam fina? skrócon? wersj? singla promuj?cego Maripos?, czyli Todo el resto no cuenta, na ?ywo. Cz??? fanów mia?a okazj? przebywa? w studiu, Lodo wychodzi?a tak?e do nich przed budynkiem. Oprócz wskazania jej obecno?ci przez prowadz?c? na pocz?tku, i zapowied? wyst?pu na ko?cu, Lodo nie mia?a innego udzia?u w programie.
Drugie i trzecie (we wstawionym po?cie fb, trzeba zaklika?) nagranie przedstawiaj? ten sam moment, ale w innym monta?u. Pierwsze z nich obejmuje równie? reakcje widzów, prowadz?cych - tak jak to polecia?o na ?ywo.

#DDTVN
Zgodnie z zapowiedzi? TVNu, od godziny 9.00 w kafejce na parterze warszawskiej siedziby stacji Comello urz?dowa?a za wielkim sto?em rozdaj?c autografy wszystkim, którzy przybyli na miejsce. O ile si? orientuj?, mia?o to potrwa? do ok wpó? do jedenastej, jednak ju? po 10.00 Lodovica przygotowywa?a si? do wyst?pu osiem pi?ter wy?ej, w wywiadzie. Ju? po uzyskaniu autografów godnym uwagi faktem jest to, ?e wi?kszo?? pozosta?a na miejscu, czekaj?c na wyst?p na ?ywo, emitowany na ekranie w kafejce.
Potem oczywi?cie najbardziej oczekiwany przez widzów moment, czyli sam wywiad z w?osk? ksi??niczk?, moim zdaniem do?? interesuj?cy - i na pewno obfituj?cy w wiele informacji dla ka?dego, kto nie czyta ?adnego bloga czy fanstrefy.
Drugie nagranie jest lepszej jako?ci, ale pierwsze zawiera nieco wi?cej materia?u.
Najciekawsze wspomniane informacje:
-Zawód Ilarii i relacje rodziny Lodo do jej kariery
-Lodovica wysz?a za m??. Niedoinformowanym w materii przypominamy posta, który opublikowali?my jeszcze tego samego dnia klik.
-Jak Lodo chce si? realizowa?, tak?e w stosunku do fanów
-Lodovica chce napisa? prawdziw? powie??
-Koncert LodoLive w Polsce, o którym mo?ecie poczyta? tutaj.
Tu? przed 11.00 nadesz?a pora wyst?pu Lodo i Szymona w naszej wersji Sin Usar Palabras. To bez w?tpienia playback, ale jestem w stanie zrozumie? to bior?c pod uwag?, ?e w tym programie prawie zawsze jest puszczane gotowe nagranie, ponadto - na takiej wysoko?ci wiatr móg?by zrobi? sporo problemów ze s?yszalno?ci?.

Ku kia’i mauna! Stand firm and protect Mauna Kea! Here is the external expression of our cultural knowing. This kia i (guardian) role has stepped on to a world stage to turn facts into truth through social media, tommie copper and its progress is affirmed, instructed and made mythic by a kapu aloha. He kapu aloha is a multidimensional concept and practice inspired by kupuna and ku u aina aloha, our beloved lands. It has been used within Hawaiian cultural contexts for decades, but this may be the first time it has been brought out into the larger public sphere. It is a daring proposition tommie copper indeed to bring a kapu aloha out in this manner because tommie copper it runs the risk of ridicule, misunderstanding and misappropriation. I have found this idea/practice divine intervention and a call for non-dual thinking through the wisdom found in compassion. Aloha Aina is made simple within this framework. We then become protectors not protesters. Our priorities are made clear and individual self-reflection tommie copper then brings out the power, function and potential of an awakened collective. Clarity solidifies this movement and I feel our own transformation in the process. tommie copper Maybe the kapu aloha was called because it called us! I have learned much from beloved friend Pua Case and pilialoha Luana Busby-Neff. They called the kapu aloha because they have learned through their own history of protest, cultural practices, beliefs and values that aloha is the highest pono. It places a discipline of awareness on all to express reverence for those involved, especially those who are perceived to be polar to our efforts. A kapu aloha helps us intentionalize our thoughts, words and deeds without harm to others. It honors the energy tommie copper and life found in aloha – compassion – and helps us focus on its ultimate purpose and meaning. He kapu aloha is a synonym for ahimsa, non-violence, and wakeful consciousness. It is the practice of reverence.
The word kapu is what brings aloha back into its oldest function. Kapu in this form asks us to bring reverence back into what aloha means. It is the main idea, practice tommie copper and joy of beloved kupuna mystic Hale Makua. Aloha in this context is the core of Hawaiian intelligence. It is the rigor the world longs for, and it is the gold of this movement. You may wish to fight and spit at aloha but it will not respond in-kind. You may wish to yell at aloha but it will take a breath, hold hands with others and sing: Aloha-e, aloha-e. Aloha-e, aloha-e. It is an endless and infinite energy-field that has lifted anger from my heart and doubt from my lexicon. It is a spiritual rejuvenation for the world. A kapu aloha has been called by N? Ao Koa by the Warriors of Light to help us protect Mauna a Wakea. It helps us re-center Aloha Aina once again so we can see, really see, the beauty that nourishes, inspires and teaches us how to best be in the world. Mana Moana, let us rise to this practice of compassion and reverence! Ku kia i mauna!
Mahalo Nui Loa. I kako’o. We will win this battle because kapu aloha uses the divine power of our creator. This is what we have been called to do. If we lose the Earth loses so we have to win. We will unite as one and bring in a golden age where pono and abundance for all is restores. Aloha
Aloha e Manu! Mahalo, mahalo, mahalo for articulating so clearly tommie copper what we have been sensing in our na’au and knowing with our spirits. This time is one of awakening and reclaiming that which is at the center, the piko of who we are – kapu aloha, indeed. Me ka ha’aha’a, Dorinna

Mahalo NUI e Manu! Such profound wisdom, definitely messages from the Divine speaking tommie copper via your blessed physical form! Yes! Kapu Aloha! It?s definitely a time of awakening around our world for many people, and our Earth is validating with all her shake-rattle-and-rolling! tommie copper Or, perhaps we are responding to her movement – since we are all one! Mahalo for helping to help elevate my knowing in this time of grand transition!
