Maintaining established order in teams that have no “bosses” or no one to manage them, in the so-called traditional model, requires a great deal of self-responsibility, maturity, drive and willingness from everyone on such a team. This is not always easy, especially when our egos dominate and we think we are infallible, the best and in general “the best.”
Of course, thinking well of ourselves is very important, because it is our thoughts that create reality, however, a highly developed ego can mess up teamwork a lot, so in a joint initiative we take extra care of self-discipline, because without it we would not move forward.
π How do we do it?
By very simple methods.
π First, we listen to what each of us has to say, and as you know we meet often.
π We are not late for meetings, and if something falls out for someone, the information is given well in advance.
π We prepare for daily, planning or review, so we don’t waste time thinking about what to say.
π We respect each other, keep an eye on meeting times and topics that are discussed.Of course, we have a moment for so-called loose topics, but once the main scope is discussed.
π We communicate effectively in notes and read them with understanding.
All with great respect for the other person. Each of us knows well that the effective circulation of information depends on proving our goals.We are a close-knit team that cares about mutual success, and self-discipline helps us achieve it.
I myself believe that honesty and openness of communication is our greatest asset (right after self-discipline) π. No one has to watch or rush anyone, because through frequent interaction we know what stage of the task our teammate is at. This allows us to synchronize all elements of the project in a very fast way, so that they are done on time π.
As colleagues in a competence organization, we pay a lot of attention to this.
Besides, we are young passionate and energetic people who want to co-create a cool company π.
This doesn’t mean that we don’t face difficult situations in our daily cooperation, but thanks to everyone’s commitment and discipline we effectively work on solutions. Personally, I don’t like the word “difficult.” For me it is always a challenging day π πͺ.
