As  a  team:

The  one  thing   that  the  team  comes  together  around   as  most  important  now.

About:   strengths,  weaknesses,  progress

To:  other  people’s   perspective  and  preferences

Curiosity  about  how  other  people  see  things,   and  honoring   what  is  true  to  both  of  us.

Willingness   to  act  in  accordance  to  our  beliefs,  especially  when  it’s  hard  to  do  so.

People  say  the  darndest things…

“The  story  I’m  working  on  is  turning  out  to  be  really  tough  –I’m  kind  of  stuck  on  it,  so  I’m  going  to  work  from  home  and  skip  the  daily  scrum  so  I  can  FOCUS on  getting  it  done.”

“Since  we  value  OPENNESS,   I’m  just  going  to  tell  it  like  it  is:  your  testing  skills  are  weak  and  it’s  really  slowing  the  team  down.”

“During  the  Q&A  section  of  the  next  all-­‐company  meeting,  I  am  going  to  call  out  the  CEO  on  his  

micro-­‐managing  ways.  Someone  needs  to  have  the  

COURAGE  to  do  it.”  

“The  team  didn’t  finish  the  story  because  integration  took  longer  than  expected?  I  thought  we  valued  COMMITMENT!”

“Even  though  our  manager’s  behavior  is  demotivating  to  the  team,  I  never  bring  it  up  in  our  One  on  One  meetings  – I  RESPECT her  too  much.”
