Have a Process or Instrument for Understanding People


Behavioral dynamics, team performance, establishing and verifying repeatable pa;erns for team success How do we do this?

21

A&I Re-Interview Model (Process Option)


Example: 1.What do other people say you are? 2.What do you love to do (outside of work)? 3.Who do you look up to (mentor/role model)? Why? 4.What type of problems do you enjoy solving (outside of work)? Why? 5.How do you know youve done a good job at something (outside of work)? 6.What is your best way of suppor2ng others (outside of work)?

@agilescout - If you require your team members to work on more than one project at a :me, you put quality, speed, and value at risk.

COST?
1) ~$650B/year to companies 2) Imagine: $11,000/year to YOU! 3) ~40% in loss of produc:vity for mul2ple projects and lose ability to lter relevant informa2on from non-relevant 4) Visual Input drops 29% and Brain Ac:va:on drops 53% 5) Context switching linked to memory loss 6) Mul2tasking linked to madness
