Communication Norms

Develop habits & make incremental progress

• 1.01 ^ 365 = 37.78
• 0.99 ^ 365 = 0.026

Collaborate with & learn from diverse sources

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

Ground Rules

• We learn from each other by fostering group intelligence
• We lean towards innovation and collaborative decision-making by being bold, but not bully, and being thoughtful, but not lazy
• We cultivate growth mindset by having the courage to try new things and fail better
• We’re stronger as a team by sharing the workload, and not minding who gets the credit

“The most important function of the leader is to encourage everyone to see him- or herself as a member of the larger system, pursuing a common vision, holding common values, and cooperating with each other in an environment of mutual support and respect.”
FRED KOFMAN
