Drive

If you try to pay them more to work better
- Works awesome if it's very mechanical
- As soon as it's creative at all it makes you worse
- You just need to pay people enough to get it off the table
What drives us:
- Autonomy: we want to control our own lives
- Mastery: get better at things
- Purpose: we want to have meaning, work for something bigger than ourselves

What if you're really not right?

We desire the same ends but have chosen different means (the way we do it)
- You are not good at collaboration 🤷‍♂️
- Teams innovate faster, and have better results, etc...

Looking at each individual will not predict high performing teams from low performing ones
Emotional Intelligence of Groups

KEY FACTOR: How you treat one-another (Psychological Safety)

Speak roughly in the same proportion (EVERYONE GETS A SAY)
- If only one person dominated, or a few, the average IQ declined
Average social Sensitivity
- non-verbal queues

Safe for "Interpersonal Risk taking"
- Sense of Confidence that they won't embarrass you for speaking up
- Trust & Respect to allow people to be themselves
Words about the past are usually about blame... you should probably avoid them.
Words about the future about corrective action, it's about what's next
You should have strong opinions but they should be weekly held
You should have an identity, but keep it small. Don't bind yourself with the straight jacket of your past

What is it that prevents us from sincerely making them like us? From winning them over?

You are good enough

"YOU'RE PURPLE" -> no strong reaction, you're not secretly afraid that you're purple "You are not your code, you're not your past, you're not your parents, and you're not responsible for everything"

When you pop the "Why can't we come to an agreement?" stack right to the bottom you come to is FEAR 😰

Change the future

we are hardwired to collaborate
