You gave us a life lesson within 3 minutes! 😃
Thank you for sharing your valuable life experiences with us!
I understood your message and took it with me! 😊

I still recall two phrases: 1) there is no I in team and 2) Together Everyone Achieves More. Not everyone has the "same" skills/abilities/talents/experience/drive get the right combination and great things "can" (notice I didn't say "will") happen.

[@marshal1808]

There needs to be trust before you have a team. It's is about everyone keeping their end of the bargain. You are excepted to do your part, and other are required to do their part. There is no escaping responsibility. What does that mean? It means people owning up accepting responsibility for their mistakes and failures, it means people giving explanations and answers that they owe. It means giving an apology for wasting someone's time and resources. It also practising what you preach to others. I like your videos, just randomly thinking about social experiment ideas.

human skills is under appreciated my bro

[@talisha5863]

[@kazuhiko8608]

[@bobwheeler8101]

Clearly, this IS the way. I have been consuming everything you have said or written and feel improved by the experience. Moreover, I really appreciate your personal stance on service. Continue the work and I will follow.

I would love to see Simon and Sam Harris have a conversation.

What happened to the lowest performer's team?

[@MandoFettOG]

I feel like he spared all the average students from dealing with them haha

[@MrKr0ws]

I feel like a team consists typically of high performers and low performers which averages out to an average team. Ive been able to turn low performing teams into mid to high performing teams by having them buy into the idea that their growth benefits the greater good. Get to the root cause of the problem; where and why they stay stagnant. I mean it doesn't always work. But i think the only thing more fun than working with a high performing team as a leader, is turning a low performing team into a high performing one. I feel theres more to learn from that.

He is a professor? I didn’t know that but going with gut instinct I felt that. Weird. As a professor you have a power to assign how the group operates and unfortunately students have no voice to decide for themselves; however, taking real life examples from myself I lately learned to say NO. As a community people got together and prepared feasts making everything from scratch. I noticed certain so called team members were not participating they would find excuses to go outside doing other thing but the main goal was left accomplished by few of us, first I closed my eyes , this continued for a very long time now when you say sorry no I am not participating you automatically became a bad person. I rather carry the label of a bad person than being enslaved to a labor that I do not commit to. I agree with equality not authoritarian leadership concept.

Chris Voss codified building trust… seem ridiculous to learn to build trust in seconds like an FBI Hostage Negotiator???

[@willlock3644]

The four quadrants:
1. Important
2. Not important
3. Urgent
4. Not urgent
An FBI negotiator operates almost always in the Important & urgent block.
Now I urge you to keep this in mind and ask your question again.

[@mariusduus425]

Wer hat das erneute Referat bestellt?
Muß dieser Herr etwas verkaufen?
Ähmmm ummm you know ok ähhhhh mhm.. yes ok sir man ok

[@jpk_0078]

Thats the worst advice he could give, one person in the group is going to be overworked and what he is telling me that its okay, bruh what in the world o.o

[@TheBestOfLisaRenee]
