Have you ever been part of a team that was technically competent, but had trouble meeting its goals? We are often led to believe that the success of a team is determined by the technical ability of its members. But if your team doesn't respect one another and is frequently in disagreement, that technical talent is wasted.
Understanding Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs will help your team members form meaningful, respectful relationships. These kind of relationships will make it easier for your team to have passionate, open debate and commit to difficult decisions, without destroying the integrity of the team. You'll hear how making incremental changes to the way your team interacts can allow your team to focus on the goals of your organization.
