Episode 141: Letting People Be Vulnerable

This Agile Life

What to do when team members don’t want to follow the established team rules? How to deal with your emotions getting the better of you?

How Craig prefers to work

• Introverted, but likes to work with people
• Thinking out loud
• OK with taking criticism in public
• Passive with ideas

The only thing you can control is how you act/react (Amos has been seeing this, but Tice brought it up)
Team-first development

Vulnerability stories

• Five Dysfunctions of a Team
• The Advantage
• Lead or Go First

Tice’s advice on building trust

• Share appreciation - more important than sharing constructive feedback (just appreciation & thank you)
• Listen
• Assume positive intent - assume that others are not out to get you
• Share / Transparency
