Ari Tikka - https://www.linkedin.com/in/aritikka/ has a magic wand for team performance, just what this wand was took me by surprise.
Not because its actually magic but because it stands a pretty good chance of working because
1) its not actually magic
2) its based upon research
3) Ari has a rather special approach.

WHAT IS IN THE EPISODE?
In this episode, Ari makes the case that, to achieve a great systemic, organisational performance a Team, regardless of size, is required. Focusing on 7+/-2 won't get us to where amazing performances are staged, so we spoke about
🍄What is performance in a team context?
🍄Everyone knows there are two types of magic Harry Potter style (real) and Dynamo - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamo_(magician) (not real). Which is Ari's?!
🍄What are group dynamics?
🍄What does Ari recommend when you get to more than around eight teams?
🍄What type of Teamwork and collaboration mode has Ari seen between Product Owners
🍄The problems with people who have never really experienced great teamwork leading and managing teams
🍄In small-scale software development, how does Ari see leadership being enacted?
🍄How the performance of the "smartest person" has held back our thinking on Teams
🍄 Why is it that in some organisations, the "aggressive whippers" (aka Project Managers who focus on Jira ticket management) get promoted?
🍄 Ben's complete ignorance as to what Zen meditation is was exposed (Ben: "turns out its inverse floating")
🍄Is a Requirement Area - https://less.works/less/less-huge/requirement-areas in
If the enablers for Teamwork are the same for communities, so what are Ari's tips for getting a community working well?
