Rule # 5: Emotionally Intelligent Teams Work Best
• Our specie has
probably gone as
far as we can
based on
cognitive
Intelligence alone
• The rest of the
journey will
require greater
development of
Emotional
Intelligence
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 58
Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
• The ability to sense,
understand, and
effectively apply the
power and acumen of
emotions
– as a source of human
energy, information,
trust, creativity and
influence
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 59
It Begins in The Brain
• Brain theory research
explains why some
people are more
inclined to naturally
utilize EQ
2/23/2016 www.jobbank-ja.com 62
We Live In A
Left Brain Dominated World
• The dominant elements are
words, measurements and logic
• The subordinate functions tend
to be creativity, intuition and
artistry
• More pronounced in women
2/23/2016 www.jobbank-ja.com 63
The New Work Order
• The Old Order was the work
of "half-brained" executives
• The New Order required the
strategic use of logic and
emotions
• so the need to develop the
subordinate side of the brain
2/23/2016 www.jobbank-ja.com 64
Survival
• Nature developed our emotions over millions
of years of evolution
• Result
• Our emotions have the potential to serve us
today as a delicate and sophisticated internal
guidance system
2/23/2016 www.jobbank-ja.com 65
A Few Principles
• All humans have basic
emotional needs
• Each of us has similar
–But different
emotional needs
2/23/2016 www.jobbank-ja.com 68
Our Emotions
• Alert us when
natural human
need is not
being met
2/23/2016 www.jobbank-ja.com 69
For Example
• When we feel lonely,
–Our need for connection
with other people is unmet
2/23/2016 www.jobbank-ja.com 70
For Example
• When we feel afraid,
–Our need for safety is
unmet
2/23/2016 www.jobbank-ja.com 71
For Example
• When we feel rejected,
–Our need for acceptance is
unmet
2/23/2016 www.jobbank-ja.com 72
Decision Making
• Our emotions
–Valuable source of
information
–Help us make decisions
2/23/2016 www.jobbank-ja.com 73
Studies Show
• When a person's emotional connections are
severed in the brain, he can not make even
simple decisions
• Why?
–Because he doesn't know how he will
feel about his choices
2/23/2016 www.jobbank-ja.com 74
Boundary Setting
• When we feel
uncomfortable with a
person's behavior, our
emotions alert us
2/23/2016 www.jobbank-ja.com 75
If We Learn to Trust Our Emotions
• And feel confident expressing
ourselves
• We can let the person know we
feel uncomfortable as soon as we
are aware of our feeling
2/23/2016 www.jobbank-ja.com 76
Result
• This will help us set
our boundaries
• Necessary to protect
our physical and
mental health
2/23/2016 www.jobbank-ja.com 77
Communication
• Our emotions help us
communicate with others
• For example,
–Our facial expressions can
convey a wide range of
emotions
2/23/2016 www.jobbank-ja.com 78
If We Look Sad or Hurt
• We are signalling to others
that we need their help
2/23/2016 www.jobbank-ja.com 79
If We Are Verbally Skilled
• We will be able to express
more of our emotional
needs and thereby have a
better chance of filling
them
2/23/2016 www.jobbank-ja.com 80
If We Are
Effective at Listening
• To the emotional troubles of others,
• We are in a better position to reach others,
• We are in a better position to bridge the gaps
2/23/2016 www.jobbank-ja.com 81
Unity
• Our emotions are perhaps the greatest
potential source of uniting all members of
the human species
• Our various religious, cultural and political
beliefs have not united us
2/23/2016 www.jobbank-ja.com 82
Far Too Often
• They have tragically and
even fatally divided us
• Emotions are universal
2/23/2016 www.jobbank-ja.com 83
Charles Darwin
• Wrote about this years ago in
one of his lesser-known books
–"The Expression of Emotion In
Man and Animal”
2/23/2016 www.jobbank-ja.com 84
The Emotions of
• Empathy, Compassion,
Cooperation, and
Forgiveness
• All have the potential to
unite us as a species
2/23/2016 www.jobbank-ja.com 85
Generally Speaking:
• Emotions unite us
• Beliefs divide us
2/23/2016 www.jobbank-ja.com 86
Emotions
• Help us establish our boundaries
• Have the potential to unite and connect
us
• Can serve as our inner moral and ethical
compass
• Are essential for good decision making

Rule #7:
The 4 Team Working Styles
It doesn’t help if everyone thinks the same way.
Carson Tate
Harvard Business Review
April, 2015
The Power of Diversity
• Most leaders now recognize that the best teams leverage
diversity to achieve long-term success.
• Many think about it in pretty narrow terms:
– gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, and/or age.
• Sometimes they also consider organizational attributes, like
function or rank.
Differing Work Styles Can Help Team Performance
• But there’s another kind of diversity that
might be even more helpful:
–differences in work style
–or the way in which we think about, organize,
and complete tasks.
Four Basic Types of People:
• DATA-ORIENTED
–Logical, analytical
• DETAIL-ORIENTED
–Organized, plan-focused
• EMOTIONALLY ORIENTED
–Supportive, expressive,
• IDEA-ORIENTED
–Strategic, integrative,
Sameness Sucks!
• When members of a team, or leaders of an
organization, all have the same style, you’ll quickly
run into trouble.
For example,
• if everyone in your group has a big-picture, strategic,
intuitive approach to work and chafes against the structure
of project plans, you might frequently be over budget and
behind schedule.
• Or, if everyone has a linear, analytical, and planned
approach to work and dislikes disruption, innovative new
product development would be impossible.
Promoting And Leveraging
Work-style Diversity?
Observe your team members
• In poker, they call them tells — betting patterns or unconscious
behavior you can use to guess your opponent’s hand.
• The same rules apply to work style.
• To evaluate a report or colleague, think about the following
questions:
– Does she consistently complete work early, in advance of deadlines or
wait until the last minute?
– Does he send emails with only a few words or write novels?
– Does she gesture and use her hands while talking?
– Or is she more controlled and stoic in their movements?
Team Work Styles
• These tells, both subtle and overt, will give you clues
as to someone’s work style.
• You might also try to take this quick assessment from
the perspective of each team member.
• Because work styles are fairly ingrained,
– recruitment, not development, is the best way to build diversity in
a group.
– If you find that one or two work styles are overrepresented, it’s
probably time to add some fresh blood to your team.
Leverage Everyone’s Strengths
• DATA
– Your logical, analytical colleague is at her best when she is
processing data and solving complex problems.
– She will focus like a laser on achieving any stated goal or outcome
and will ensure that you stay on budget.
• DETAIL
– Your organized, detail oriented colleague’s strengths are in
establishing order, structuring projects, and accurately completing
tasks.
– He will ensure work is completed on time.
Leverage everyone’s strengths
• EMOTIONAL
– Your supportive, expressive colleague is most skilled at building
relationships, facilitating team interaction, and persuading or
selling ideas.
– She will keep all stakeholders up to date on work and effectively
communicate ideas through the organization.
• IDEA
– Your big-picture, integrative colleague can serve as a catalyst for
change, brainstorming solutions to problems and synthesizing
disparate thinking.
– He will drive innovation, ensure variety in both thought and
Coach according to work style
• Make sure that everyone understands the value each team
member brings to the table and give people assignments in
which they can use their skills to best effect.
• To get the best from each person, consider using questions
aligned to his or her respective work style.
For your logical, analytical colleague, ask:
• What is your goal?
• What are you seeking to achieve?
• Where can you find data that will help you make that decision?
For your organized, detail oriented colleague, ask:
• How can you make ________ work more effectively?
• How will you decide which step to take next?
• What has worked for you in the past?
For your supportive, expressive colleague, ask:
• How is your behavior impacting others?
• Who can support you in this?
• Who else needs to be involved?
For your big-picture, integrative colleague, ask:
• What would the ideal future state look like?
• What ideas do you have for addressing ________?
• If there was something else you could do, what would it be?
Work With Their Strengths
• There is huge value to be gleaned when you
leverage work style diversity by observing your
team members,
–playing to their strengths,
–and giving them tailored coaching.

Performing
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 129
FORMING
• The start-up stage
• Purpose and expectation
unclear
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 130
Members
Test the Waters to Determine
–Acceptable behavior
–The nature of their task
–How the group will get its work done
–They want to be told what to do
–Interactions are superficial
–Tend to be directed to the formal leader
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 131
STORMING
• This stage is characterized by
conflict and resistance to the
group’s task and structure
• Team members express concerns
and frustrations
• Freely exchange ideas and
opinions
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 132
STORMING
• Team is learning to
deal with differences
in order to work
together to meet its
goals
• A team that doesn’t
get through this
stage successfully is
usually more
divided and less
creative
HOW DO YOU COPE WITH
CONFLICTS?
23/02/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 133
WHAT IS YOUR CONFLICT STYLE?
1. Win/Lose - Competing
2 Yield/Lose - Accommodating
3. Compromise
4 Lose/Leave - Avoiding
5. Win/Win - Collaborating
23/02/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 136
THE CONTEXTUAL STYLE
• All five of the positions outlined above
presuppose that the participants in a conflict
have a well-established, consistent conflict
style.
• But what about individuals who vacillate
during the course of conflict resolution?
• They may use all five techniques at various
times or in various conflicts.
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 137
THE CONTEXTUAL STYLE
• In most organizations,
– this chameleon-like, contextual style is the most common
style of conflict resolution.
• Understanding the variations of conflict resolution,
–individuals should adopt whatever seems best for a
particular situation or whatever has been reinforced by past
experience.
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 138
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 139
NORMING STAGE
• A sense of group cohesion
develops in this stage
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 140
NORMING
• Members accept the team and develop norms for
resolving conflict, making decisions, and completing
assignments
• Members enjoy meetings and freely exchange
information
• Shared leadership emerges
• Risk of stagnating into groupthink
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 141
PERFORMING STAGE
• Now team work really begin
•This is the payoff stage
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 142
Performing
• Team has structure and purpose
• Ready to tackle task
• Members take initiative
• Problem-solving and decision-making procedures
emphasize results
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 143
As the Team GELLS
• It receives recognition from
other parts of the organization
• Complacency is a risk
• May show up in missed
deadlines or a lack of creative
spark

With Your Team

Teams are tough.
• Persuading one player can be a challenge.
• But persuading a team … jeez, a team is much harder to
persuade than one person. So-Much-Harder.
• There are three reasons for that.
– Two are about the team, one is about you.
– You have three techniques to counter those reasons.
– Warning — ignore them at your own peril.
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 145
Technique #1: No Free Riders
• In 1927, Max Ringelmann experimented with people pulling on ropes.
• he discovered something important about teams.
• Members of a group extended less effort working as a group than when
they pulled the rope by themselves.
• In other words, an individual’s effort reduces when a group of people are
doing the same thing at the same time.
• Similar experiments have studied clapping, shoutin etc.
• All have found similar results:
– when in groups the effort level of the individual reduces.
• Have you noticed anything like this with your team?
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 146
It’s called Social Loafing,
• The belief is Social Loafing happens because the individual
feels his effort will not matter to the group.
• Or, the person may want to “hide in the crowd” to escape
blame if things go bust.
• Regardless of the specific psychological reasons why Social
Loafing happens, it happens.
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 147
A few things learned about it over the years:
• women are less prone to loaf than are men
• loafing becomes more pronounced in longer activities
• individuals are more likely to loaf when their peers are
expected to perform well
• when you expect more out of the entire group, less loafing
occurs
• loafing happens less when the group members know each
other
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 148
How do you counter Social Loafing?
• From the list above, a few things jump out.
–Shorter activities,
–High expectations
–Accountability for everyone,
–Group familiarization.
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 149
Technique #2: Which Value Really Counts?
• Value is at the heart of persuading an individual. We’ve
discussed that. The same holds for your team. You need to
know what they value, as a collective. When you know that
answer your ability to persuade your team increases
dramatically.
• So … what does your team value? That’s the critical question.
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 151
3 distinct challenges to team values:
• A team is a living, breathing organism — one that
changes yearly, monthly, weekly, heck, even daily.
• What a team values today, they might not value
tomorrow.
• don’t count on them telling you each time it changes.
• The tough part is when (note: “when” not “if”) there
are conflicting values on a team.
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 152
Here’s two tools that might help.
• One, find a common team value.
– Is there one or more values that the entire team wants?
– Ask, then listen, LISTEN, to what they want.
– Grab onto something that the team values as a collective.
• Second — compromise.
– Coming to a compromise when there is a wide range of values is hard.
– Compromise takes action, understanding, empathy.
– Yet, compromise may help you overcome conflicting values.
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 153
Technique #3: No Energy Shortage
• It takes energy to persuade someone — a lot.
• Even more energy when dealing with groups.
• What do you do to avoid an energy shortage?
• Normal health and exercise will help.

Rule # 9: Work With The 7
Team-Building Functions
• SUPPORTING
• GATEKEEPING
• HARMONIZING
• PROCESS
OBSERVING
• CONFRONTING
• MEDIATING
• SUMMARIZING
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 160
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 170
Summarizing
• Summarizing gives
the group time to
breathe
• A good summary
clarifies some of the
confusion

Rule # 10: Avoid The Principal
Destructive Functions
• Shutting off
• Analysing or
Labelling
• Dominating
• Yes-butting
• Naysaying
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 174
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 181
Rule # 11:
Teams Have Less Need For Managers and
More For Coaches and Leaders
• Coaches help teams solve problems
• Old Order bosses design and allocate
work, supervise, check, monitor and
control
• Teams do these things for
themselves
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 182
LET'S GET RID OF MANAGEMENT
People don't want to be managed,
They want to be led.
Whoever heard of a world manager?
World leader, yes
Educational leader Political leader
Religious leader Scout leader
Community leader Labour leader
Business leader Gang Leader
They lead They don't manage
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 183
Moses
•Did he
manage
•Or lead?
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 184
THE CARROT ALWAYS WINS OVER THE STICK
• Ask your horse
–You can lead your
horse to water,
• But you can't manage
him to drink
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 185
www.LTSemaj.com 186
IF YOU WANT TO MANAGE SOMEBODY,
•Manage yourself
• Do that well and you'll be
ready to stop managing
•And start leading
2/23/2016
Teams
•No one is
smarter
than a
team

A manifesto for small teams doing important work
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 194
• We are always under tight deadlines, because time is our most
valuable asset.
• If you make a promise, set a date. No date, no promise.
• If you set a date, meet it.
• If you can't make a date, tell us early and often. Plan B well
prepared is a better strategy than hope.
• Clean up your own mess.
• Clean up other people's messes.
A manifesto for small teams doing important work
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 195
• Overcommunicate.
• Question premises and strategy.
• Don't question goodwill, effort or intent.
• "I'll know it when I see it," is not a professional thing to say.
Describing and discussing in the abstract is what we do.
• Big projects are not nearly as important as scary commitments.
– Seth Godin, Feb 18, 2016
A manifesto for small teams doing important work
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com
196
• If what you're working on right now doesn't matter to the
mission, help someone else with their work.
• Make mistakes, own them, fix them, share the learning.
• Cheap, reliable, public software might be boring, but it's usually
better. Because it's cheap and reliable.
• Yesterday's hierarchy is not nearly as important as today's project
structure.
• Lock in the things that must be locked in, leave the
implementation loose until you figure out how it can get done.
A manifesto for small teams doing important work
2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com
197
• Mostly, we do things that haven't been done before, so don't be surprised
when you're surprised.
• Care more.
• If an outsider can do it faster and cheaper than we can, don't hesitate.
• Always be seeking outside resources. A better rolodex is better, even if we
don't have rolodexes any more.
• Talk to everyone as if they were your boss, your customer, the founder,
your employee. It's all the same.
• It works because it's personal.
Your Action Plan:

  • 92. Rule #7: The 4 Team Working Styles It doesn’t help if everyone thinks the same way. Carson Tate Harvard Business Review April, 2015
  • 93. The Power of Diversity • Most leaders now recognize that the best teams leverage diversity to achieve long-term success. • Many think about it in pretty narrow terms: – gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, and/or age. • Sometimes they also consider organizational attributes, like function or rank.
  • 94. Differing Work Styles Can Help Team Performance • But there’s another kind of diversity that might be even more helpful: –differences in work style –or the way in which we think about, organize, and complete tasks.
  • 95. Four Basic Types of People: • DATA-ORIENTED –Logical, analytical • DETAIL-ORIENTED –Organized, plan-focused • EMOTIONALLY ORIENTED –Supportive, expressive, • IDEA-ORIENTED –Strategic, integrative,
  • 96. Sameness Sucks! • When members of a team, or leaders of an organization, all have the same style, you’ll quickly run into trouble.
  • 97. For example, • if everyone in your group has a big-picture, strategic, intuitive approach to work and chafes against the structure of project plans, you might frequently be over budget and behind schedule. • Or, if everyone has a linear, analytical, and planned approach to work and dislikes disruption, innovative new product development would be impossible.
  • 99. Observe your team members • In poker, they call them tells — betting patterns or unconscious behavior you can use to guess your opponent’s hand. • The same rules apply to work style. • To evaluate a report or colleague, think about the following questions: – Does she consistently complete work early, in advance of deadlines or wait until the last minute? – Does he send emails with only a few words or write novels? – Does she gesture and use her hands while talking? – Or is she more controlled and stoic in their movements?
  • 100. Team Work Styles • These tells, both subtle and overt, will give you clues as to someone’s work style. • You might also try to take this quick assessment from the perspective of each team member. • Because work styles are fairly ingrained, – recruitment, not development, is the best way to build diversity in a group. – If you find that one or two work styles are overrepresented, it’s probably time to add some fresh blood to your team.
  • 101. Leverage Everyone’s Strengths • DATA – Your logical, analytical colleague is at her best when she is processing data and solving complex problems. – She will focus like a laser on achieving any stated goal or outcome and will ensure that you stay on budget. • DETAIL – Your organized, detail oriented colleague’s strengths are in establishing order, structuring projects, and accurately completing tasks. – He will ensure work is completed on time.
  • 102. Leverage everyone’s strengths • EMOTIONAL – Your supportive, expressive colleague is most skilled at building relationships, facilitating team interaction, and persuading or selling ideas. – She will keep all stakeholders up to date on work and effectively communicate ideas through the organization. • IDEA – Your big-picture, integrative colleague can serve as a catalyst for change, brainstorming solutions to problems and synthesizing disparate thinking. – He will drive innovation, ensure variety in both thought and
  • 103. Coach according to work style • Make sure that everyone understands the value each team member brings to the table and give people assignments in which they can use their skills to best effect. • To get the best from each person, consider using questions aligned to his or her respective work style.

  • 124. Teams are tough. • Persuading one player can be a challenge. • But persuading a team … jeez, a team is much harder to persuade than one person. So-Much-Harder. • There are three reasons for that. – Two are about the team, one is about you. – You have three techniques to counter those reasons. – Warning — ignore them at your own peril. 2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 145
  • 125. Technique #1: No Free Riders • In 1927, Max Ringelmann experimented with people pulling on ropes. • he discovered something important about teams. • Members of a group extended less effort working as a group than when they pulled the rope by themselves. • In other words, an individual’s effort reduces when a group of people are doing the same thing at the same time. • Similar experiments have studied clapping, shoutin etc. • All have found similar results: – when in groups the effort level of the individual reduces. • Have you noticed anything like this with your team? 2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 146
  • 126. It’s called Social Loafing, • The belief is Social Loafing happens because the individual feels his effort will not matter to the group. • Or, the person may want to “hide in the crowd” to escape blame if things go bust. • Regardless of the specific psychological reasons why Social Loafing happens, it happens. 2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 147
  • 127. A few things learned about it over the years: • women are less prone to loaf than are men • loafing becomes more pronounced in longer activities • individuals are more likely to loaf when their peers are expected to perform well • when you expect more out of the entire group, less loafing occurs • loafing happens less when the group members know each other 2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 148
  • 128. How do you counter Social Loafing? • From the list above, a few things jump out. –Shorter activities, –High expectations –Accountability for everyone, –Group familiarization. 2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 149
  • 129. Technique #2: Which Value Really Counts? • Value is at the heart of persuading an individual. We’ve discussed that. The same holds for your team. You need to know what they value, as a collective. When you know that answer your ability to persuade your team increases dramatically. • So … what does your team value? That’s the critical question. 2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 151
  • 130. 3 distinct challenges to team values: • A team is a living, breathing organism — one that changes yearly, monthly, weekly, heck, even daily. • What a team values today, they might not value tomorrow. • don’t count on them telling you each time it changes. • The tough part is when (note: “when” not “if”) there are conflicting values on a team. 2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 152
  • 131. Here’s two tools that might help. • One, find a common team value. – Is there one or more values that the entire team wants? – Ask, then listen, LISTEN, to what they want. – Grab onto something that the team values as a collective. • Second — compromise. – Coming to a compromise when there is a wide range of values is hard. – Compromise takes action, understanding, empathy. – Yet, compromise may help you overcome conflicting values. 2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 153
  • 132. Technique #3: No Energy Shortage • It takes energy to persuade someone — a lot. • Even more energy when dealing with groups. • What do you do to avoid an energy shortage? • Normal health and exercise will help. 2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 155

No date, no promise. • If you set a date, meet it. • If you can't make a date, tell us early and often. Plan B well prepared is a better strategy than hope. • Clean up your own mess. • Clean up other people's messes.
  • 148. A manifesto for small teams doing important work 2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 195 • Overcommunicate. • Question premises and strategy. • Don't question goodwill, effort or intent. • "I'll know it when I see it," is not a professional thing to say.

Because it's cheap and reliable. • Yesterday's hierarchy is not nearly as important as today's project structure. • Lock in the things that must be locked in, leave the implementation loose until you figure out how it can get done.

A manifesto for small teams doing important work 2/23/2016 www.LTSemaj.com 197 • Mostly, we do things that haven't been done before, so don't be surprised when you're surprised. • Care more. • If an outsider can do it faster and cheaper than we can, don't hesitate. • Always be seeking outside resources. A better rolodex is better, even if we don't have rolodexes any more. • Talk to everyone as if they were your boss, your customer, the founder, your employee. It's all the same. • It works because it's personal.
