Yesterday I participated in a workshop that helped me articulate the following guidelines for removing barriers to innovation and for harnessing the collective intelligence of a team. Thanks to all who participated for sharing your perspective. It was inspiring.
Below is a list of action items that leaders should address early and often when working with a team. These are also things that team members should ask for:
- Define what success looks like
- Articulate priorities
- Figure out what not to do
- Check in on team member goals
- Acknowledge and celebrate the diverse points of view of your team
- Call in an outside facilitator when you have issues that are too hard to navigate internally

Yesterday’s workshop was lead by a thoughtful, down-to-earth facilitator, Erica Marx
