Episode notes

I think that's something that gets forgotten when we kind of start to try to own everything and kind of lose that spirit of collaboration. And I love what you said too about like, just look at the contributions that they're making. They care as much about the project as you do. Let everyone off the hook treat people as a blank slate over and over again. Expect only the best from them, regardless of what they've done in the past. If you keep expecting people to annoy you, they will not let you down. Focus on their finer points and encourage their good behavior if you want to create more of it.

Dan Brown inspires us to get great at asking questions because 'the question' is one of our most invincible resources. He reminds us to maintain a spirit of collaboration with the the team members we’re struggling with since they care as much about the project as we do. He encourages us to always peer beneath the surface at the underlying structure of whatever we’re working on. He also motivates us to never settle.
