April 2021 Meeting (Team Effectiveness)

February's meeting was a great exercise and practice session for everyone who attended. This month's meeting will focus on a key concept - Who is on a team matters less than how the team members interact, structure their work, and view their contributions. Robert Zoller will lead a discussion on Team Effectiveness based on 2 books (The Five Disfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioi and Study of Google Team Effectiveness).

Robert will dive into 5 key concepts

1. Psychological safety: Can we take risks on this team without feeling insecure or embarrassed?
2. Dependability: Can we count on each other to do high quality work on time?
3. Structure & clarity: Are goals, roles, and execution plans on our team clear?
4. Meaning of work: Are we working on something that is personally important for each of us?
5. Impact of work: Do we fundamentally believe that the work we’re doing matters?

Please bring your experiences to the meeting to share with the group.
