Five practices make teams work: building trust, fostering healthy conflict through open discussion, securing commitment, holding each other accountable through gentle reminding, and aligning toward shared goals.
The 5 functions of a highly successful team that I want you focused on: building that trust. As a result, having healthy conflict, rumbling with each other on the good, the bad, the hard, the easy, the disagreements, the agreements, everything. Just building and working on that ability to have healthy conflict, which will easily lead to everyone getting on board and committing to the plans that you have for the team and for the business, which will then lead to everybody reminding each other. Accountability is reminding. It's not conflict. It's not confrontation. It's simply reminding everyone and each other of what it is that they made a commitment to, which then makes sure everyone's working on the same page, going in the same direction toward the same goals.
