Teams Survey

The Amplify journal published by Cutter issued a call for papers on Teams in Tumultuous Times.

The editors challenged us with this question: “How can we maximize the chances of growing and maintaining a healthy crop of teams?”

Drawing from my own inner leader journey and work at Forward Thinking Workplaces and Space Beyond Boundaries over the past 13 years, I proposed the following thesis for the article I published:

The ideal team member of the 21st century is a leader of one — themselves. Capable of leading themselves and others in every interaction they have with another team member regardless of location or circumstances.

Thank you in advance for your help. Your time and attention are greatly appreciated! The survey should take approximately 5 to 10 minutes to complete.

General Questions

In tumultuous times, it's important for team members to have the ability to lead themselves and others regardless of location or circumstances.

How feasible is it to expect team members to develop or have the ability to lead themselves and others regardless of location or circumstances?

By enhancing our ability to look and listen within, we access greater awareness and creative power to shape our world and be a force for good.

Do you agree with this quote from Dee Hock, Founder & CEO Emeritus, Visa International: "Synchronicity (the inner path of leadership) is the path we all must follow in the 21st century."

In Synchronicity: The Inner Path of Leadership, Joseph Jaworski shares the story of his escape from an inauthentic life and his journey to a deeper understanding of leadership. Leadership, he discovered, has more to do with our being—our total orientation of character and consciousness—than what we do.

Questions, Listening, and Dialogue

Making the Shift

Living in the Past vs. Living in the Now

It's important for team members to make the shift from industrial-age thinking and practices that keep us stuck living in the past.

Narrative

It's important for team members to engage in narratives because they inform and define one’s perspective.

Authenticity

It's important for team members to show up as their real selves vs. fitting in.

Intention

It's important for team members to be more directed by intention rather than reacting to circumstances.

Inclusion

It's important for team members to consider how can we make this work for everyone.

Dialogue

It's important for team members to listen and ask more questions to seek understanding and wisdom.

Leadership

It's important for team members to understand they don't have to wait for leadership to show up and can be a leader in every interaction with another team member.

Questions

It's important for team members to understand the power of questions and the value of seeking out new questions and from living in the question.

Reflection

It's important for team members to understand and appreciate the value of creating space for reflection in the face of more and more action.

Synchronicity

It's important for team members to understand that synchronicity is the organizing principle of the universe and there is value in allowing things to unfold.

Open, Curious, and Committed

It's important for team members to understand that it's more valuable to be open, curious, and committed rather than working harder, and smarter.

Next Practices

It's important for team members to understand that best practices that worked somewhere else under different conditions may not be the ideal practices for today and tomorrow.
