Session at Agile Maine Day 2018 on May 4, 2018 Want awesome teams that build great products? Great teams don’t happen by accident. And they don’t have to take a long time to build. In this session, Richard lays out the case for psychological safety and team emotional intelligence. Session participants will join in a flight of fun learning activity-sets. These will give you a taste of team awesomeness and how to start when you go back to work. Richard builds on the work of Jim and Michele McCarthy, Google, Vanessa Druskatt and Steven Wolff, Bruce Tuckman, Gamasutra, Standish Group, Peter Drucker, and Melvin Conway. His learning activity-sets use elements from improvisational theater, The Core Protocols, and more. Who should attend? Managers, Directors, VPs, CXOs, and everyone who wants to create a great team and build great products. You’ll leave having embodied the essential elements of accelerated continuous team-building and maintenance.
