As our field grows, technology advances and users develop new expectations for the products they use, we are challenged to build teams that produce best-in-class products and services. When you look at what it takes to build successful, high-performing teams, you see that our opportunity for success doesn’t solely lie in the skills we hire for. We set a foundation for successful outcomes by building a foundation for our teams to do their best work and be their best selves. In this talk, Aaron shares thoughts, tools and techniques (gathered from personal success and failures) for building teams that perform at a high level without high anxiety. Takeaways: Insights into creating a foundation for your teams to do their best work. Build strong partnerships with cross-functional teams. Increase team communication and collaboration. Create a shared vision that supports team member autonomy in decision-making and execution. Deal with conflict within teams and with partners (navigating workplace politics).
