Tom Krieglstein breaks down his three Ds of team alignment framework, starting with debate. He argues that healthy, open debate is essential for team success, citing Patrick Lencioni's work, and warns that meetings without real discussion signal deeper problems.
Every team needs what I call the three Ds of team alignment that will increase productivity, profitability, and efficiency. The first D is debate. Okay, not this type of debate, but a different type of debate. A healthy debate isn't just a conversation back and forth. It's actually the lifeblood of a successful team. In fact, if your team isn't debating, I would be worried. Pat Lencioni, in his famous book the Five Dysfunctions of a Team, says that meetings should be at least as interesting as a movie. Oh, excellent. Great movie. This quote highlights the importance of engagement and interaction within the team within that meeting. So what makes a debate a healthy debate versus a poisonous one? It's when the team has an open, honest discussion about the idea.
