• Thought patterns to avoid:

– Us vs. them
– Any kind of bigotry

Well enough to know when to ask for help!
Know Your Business
• Private sector
– Making money, saving money, keeping customers happy
– Your customers are the reason you have a job!
• Public sector
– Staying on budget, the mission priority
– Your mission is your calling, or you’re probably in the wrong line of work!

Volunteer mindset
A Word to the Managers
• Don’t:
– Assign people to teams
– Assign tasks or projects to teams
– Determine success criteria for teams
• Do:
– Provide context for teams (business, compliance, etc.)
– Ensure that teams have what they need
– Get out of their wayCopyright © 2015, Intellyx, LLC9

The Bar is Set!
It doesn’t make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do.
