Some characteristics of low performing teams:

• No Outcome Frame;  “Where exactly are we going together?”

High performing teams are structured in a way that promotes lasting success.

• Griping about the Larger Organization; “They’re not supporting us like they should!”

• A Low Degree of Participation and Input; “My views are not important.”

• Poor Skills in Open Listening; “I only hear and agree with views that are like mine.”

• Low Commitment to the Objectives; “I don’t really care what we’re doing here.”

• Poor Problem-Solving and Decision Making; “I’m right, you’re wrong!”

• A Purpose which needs Clarification and Redefinition; “I can’t easily explain what we do.”

• An Underdeveloped Self-Assessment Process; “We think we’re on the right track.”

High performing teams are structured in a way that promotes lasting success.

They elicit participation and commitment from their members at the start.

They know exactly where they are going and how they will go about getting there.  Most times, the exact steps are not known at the beginning, but there is a process put in place on how they will come up with those steps.

Additionally, good teams are self-aware, review their progress at regular intervals, and make the necessary corrections when needed.

What’s a juicy assumption you have that is worth exploring?

How might the opposite be also true?

If you look at each one closely and objectively, which belief is more useful?

What’s it worth to hold on to an old belief?

What’s it worth to adopt a better one?

Over at MindingthePlanet.net, Nova noted some interesting insights on the evolution of the web and mankind itself:  What’s After the Real Time Web? Read Part 1 of this piece here.

The inter-connection of people/information/technology on the web, is hardwiring everything and everyone together.  There are more aspects of Nova’s ‘Collective Intelligence’ that will evolve in mankind, one is our effect on the Collective Consciousness.

Durkheim’s collective consciousness speaks of a ‘unifying force’ the shared by society.  The hardwiring of the planet will automatically begin this sharing of attitudes and beliefs.  Even if it is just exposing others to new ideas.  These will be added into the mix, and included in thought processes and decision making.

As this consciousness grows in size and complexity, the memes will change and value systems will evolve.  Before we know it, people will be thinking differently and behaving differently.

Not only will we change the collective consciousness, we will have greater access to it.

Once the mind is freed up from the ‘stupid mundane things’ that it no longer needs to worry about because it is being handled by a computer, other less used processes and senses will develop.  Perhaps people will begin to develop their access to Jung’s Collective Unconsciousness and other subtle fields.  This is the expansion of our awareness, the soft-wiring of mankind, to the cosmic Wi-Fi.

Western science has yet to validate these claims of many Eastern wisdom traditions, but didn’t Astronomy claim to be a closed science at one point?  New discoveries are always being made.   So we’ll see what happens.

Check out his definition of creativity (3:20) and think how this might impact innovation and creativity in yourself and in your organization.

[Ken Robinson on schools kill creativity (snippets) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuG1bSZHsHw]

How are you going to see things differently?

Where would you start? People talk about thinking outside the box, but how, really, is that done? There are processes that can accomplish this and effective coaching can ease the transition.

But just by asking the above questions, you have begun to change… How far are you willing to go?

Over at MindingthePlanet.net, Nova noted some interesting insights on the evolution of the web and mankind itself:  What’s After the Real Time Web?

Nova contends that the current obsession with real-time web as the end-all-be-all, is “a bit myopic.”  I agree, but that is where we currently are in the evolutionary process on the web and we will grow out of it.

He sees 2 big problems to be solved over the next 10 years:  1) Web Attention Deficit Disorder; ie. Too much information to be able to properly focus attention on any of it. 2) Web Intention Deficit Disorder; ie. Getting the proper amount of people to actually intend to do something that will make a difference.

I see these issues only being resolved when the other ‘strands of the braid’ finally allow intelligent agents to be practical.  These intelligent agents, by way of possessing personal preferences and interests, will both be able to filter the desired info a person requires, and ‘intend’ for other desires and wishes which its user finds important.

Nova asserts that these trends are an evolution of into a global collective mind:

“This collective mind is not just comprised of humans, but also of software and computers and information, all interlinked into one unimaginably complex system: A system that senses the universe and itself, that thinks, feels, and does things, on a planetary scale.”

Correspondingly, he explains, there will be a radical restructuring of both Social and Physical organizations and operations.

Indeed, the linking of computers into a collective system could possibly lead to these reorganizations.  The world is already seeing remarkable economic and political changes not even due to the revolutionary changes soon to come in technology and computers.  All of these combined will dramatically affect the lives of everyone on the planet.

Part 2 will look at deeper changes that might result from the evolution of the web.
