AG! I'm not going to post this publically (just posted an OGO about the act of doing squad walk-thrus... posting two OGOs about one topic feels excessive to me 😬), but I needed you to know how happy it makes me that we are sharing the things that work with each other. It is one of the fastest and best ways to foster a culture of keep growing!

Appreciative Inquiry = the act of asking "what is the best of what is" so that we can collectively design "the best of what could be"
Cross-pollination = Taking the best of what we see, and offering it up to others to benefit from

Way to help us Keep Growing!

Side note: Making demands is easy but can be fleeting... influencing by sharing experience is hard but much more resilient and impactful... way to flex your influencing muscle

Continuous Improvement of how we work.

I love it when I see folks iterate on how we work, and the benefits of it are as clear as they are with this iteration the tech leads made.

1. Using Slack's Canvas as a way to drive more transparency = ❤️
2. Having concise, easy-to-consume, well organized notes from a meeting is transparency at the highest level I'm aware of. It shows incredible communication, collaboration, and sets a high water mark for how all teams/meetings should be run. In my L10s we usually take notes in Asana, but we don't post them in a place where folks can see / consume them. Also, Canvas allows for threads and conversations to continue, where Asana doesn't do a great job of this. I'm going to add this as a headline to every L10 I'm in and see if they want to switch to posting our notes in a more transparent / collaboration friendly way!!!

The topics that y'all discussed were great as well. Many of them had clear observations => feelings. Some lacked a clear unmet need and a specific request, but that is totally ok. Observations are the MOST IMPORTANT part of good issue solving, candor, transparency, collaboration, teamwork, feedback giving, etc. So y'all are doing the best part and I'm sure if I were in the meeting I'd have heard the unmet needs and requests.

Love this... keep going... keep growing!!

Here is what I love the most about this:

1. It is experimentation on how we can improve our daily work
2. The daily work you wanted to improve was how we can do People Management better... which is often a neglected Assignment when folks think about improving daily work
3. From what I've heard from you, Canaan, it helped give a more rich C/S/D to your folks

Honestly, I wish I'd have done this for you... or I should say, I'm disappointed I didn't... yet.

It is stuff like this that will make continuous improvement a habit... and as continuous improvement becomes a habit, exponential results become a real possibility.

I want to be clear... I do have a differing opinion on how this type of feedback should be given... but the thing I love about this is that it is out there and done. What I want us to do isn't ready yet... but we shouldn't wait for better, we should always be making progress forward... and that is what you did here 💪🏾
