Heather Fleming's Keynote from The Future of Work Summit in Austin, TX talks through the differences between "Old Work" and "New Work" including a framework to unlock your team's full potential using "Team Ingredients".
21. “Team A may be filled with smart people, all optimized
for peak individual efficiency. But the group’s norms
discourage equal speaking; there are few exchanges of
the kind of personal information that lets teammates
pick up on what people are feeling or leaving unsaid.
There’s a good chance the members of Team A will
continue to act like individuals once they come together,
and there’s little to suggest that, as a group, they will
become more collectively intelligent.”
22. “In contrast, on Team B, people may speak over one
another, go on tangents and socialize instead of
remaining focused on the agenda. The team may seem
inefficient to a casual observer. But all the team
members speak as much as they need to. They are
sensitive to one another’s moods and share personal
stories and emotions. While Team B might not contain
as many individual stars, the sum will be greater than
its parts.”
23. So what’s the “secret sauce” to
developing high-performing teams?
27. We value an individual’s strengths and
what they bring to the team and
believe an individual should be able to
contribute to the team using those
strengths --
regardless of their job role or title.
28. Okay but... how does this contribute
to motivation, authenticity and
high-performing teams?
29. Sense of Purpose:
Facilitates team discussion regarding the product’s
value and...
What we need for the team to be successful in
developing the product.
30. Autonomy, Mastery & Ownership:
Gives the team ownership and autonomy in their
personal areas of strength
Encourages growth in areas of interest
31. Authentic Self, Empathy & Communication:
Allows team members to bring their authentic-self to
work
Creates discussion on skills, interests and
responsibilities
Creates an environment of empathy and trust
through explicitly addressing expectations.

58. If you want to build a ship,
don't drum up the people
to gather wood, divide the
work, and give orders.
Instead, teach them to yearn
for the vast and endless sea.
