Key Takeaways

• What makes a Team resilient?

• • Collaboration and connection are the foundations of an authentic Agile Team.

  • Online work does not make connecting to others any easier.

• Do the leader\\u2019s team connections need to be cared for differently than the lateral connections between team members?

• • Power dynamics don\\u2019t have to be formal, it could be someone who the leader greatly respects or who has an influential power.

  • A psychologically safe environment welcomes everyone to express their true selves, even though it is impossible to assure emotional safety for everyone at all times since each Team member is unique.

  • Are you showing up with compassion?

• Bounded autonomy:

• • You cannot empower someone to do something if they don\\u2019t have the knowledge or the skills.

  • Trust is required in both directions.

• Information radiators and appropriate use of metrics are the right way of seeing trends.

• • Sometimes metrics are misused; they need to be used carefully.

  • Metrics need to help the team collaborate towards problem-solving and not as weapons.

• A Team doesn\\u2019t become one only because it is named that way.

• • A group is not a Team, cooperation isn\\u2019t the same as collaboration.

• You are a better leader because you are not perfect, own your mistakes and growth, since they have brought you to the point where you are today.

• • The only way it is impossible is if you stop trying.
