How do you create a trust-attracting team with 50 people from 3 states?
The easiest way to build a team is to let them be a team. Removing barriers. Leaving people alone to come up with great ideas, plus supplying plenty of snacks.
Accountability and authority cannot exist in equilibrium
The notion that a team can define accountability & authority means that they know the outcome before it happens & have removed all ambiguity, judgment, innovation & human interaction from the work. That to me sounds like a robot path to disengagement.
