Listen "Squid #5 - The Building of a Great Team"
Episode Synopsis
There is no Squid in the Room – all such ‘squids’ have been addressed head on and dealt with like the mature professionals that we are, but you can learn the best place to find squid on Paxos.This episode is all about teams:A team is a group of individuals (human or non-human) working together to achieve their goal.As defined by Professor Leigh Thompson of the Kellogg School of Management, “a team is a group of people who are interdependent with respect to information, resources, knowledge and skills and who seek to combine their efforts to achieve a common goal".There are, perhaps, two perspectives when it comes to teams:· Together Everyone Achieves More· Together Everyone Annoys MeDAS shares his ‘secret sauce’ from years building great teams, and Peter tries to work out which ones he was actually part of, whilst also sharing his thoughts on a new ‘phase’ in the classic Tuckman model of team development – that of ‘disrupting’.And finally there’s an African proverb that says “To go fast, go alone, but to go far, bring a team” which both Peter and DAS think is a great way to end.
