The strongest teams don’t revolve around the manager: they are woven from promises between colleagues.
Some days everything flows: ideas come quickly, decisions get made, no one waits for anyone; on other days, every issue goes up the chain and you wait for approval, not knowing when it will come back. The difference comes from what members of a close-knit team have agreed among themselves. This module shows you how to set up these agreements and keep them alive.
