  • Co-elevation is a mission driven approach to problem solving
  • “Everyone” (that you need to accomplish your mission) is on your team
  • Come to the table ready to learn new ideas
  • Follow-up with remote workers
  • “Always do what you are afraid to do” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
  • Look for people’s “blue flame”
  • Fan that flame
  • The point of being vulnerable is to make connections
  • “Committed to the mission and to each other”
  • Everything will be innovated, it will either be you or someone else
  • “Recontracting” ensures everyone is in the same page before collaboration begins
  • Avoid “bake and ship” solutions because people hate them
    • ^^ Especially if you are going solicit feedback and engagement
  • Say, “I’m not sure I understand”
  • “Land the plane” at the end of each meeting
  • Always ask permission before providing feedback
  • Focus on coaching future behavior, not critiquing past behavior
  • Avoid “why did you do this?”, instead use “what did you think about this alternative?”
  • Praise anything that aligns with your goals
  • You will meet resistance, focus on the wins instead of the misses
