How to turn a group of strangers into a team | Amy Edmondson

Business school professor Amy Edmondson studies "teaming," where people come together quickly (and often temporarily) to solve new, urgent or unusual problems. Recalling stories of teamwork on the fly, such as the incredible rescue of 33 miners trapped half a mile underground in Chile in 2010, Edmondson shares the elements needed to turn a group of strangers into a quick-thinking team that can nimbly respond to challenges.

    "It's awfully hard to team if you inadvertently see others as competitors." This. I love this quote. To achieve a goal by a team, the team must be set on that goal. A wonderful Ted talk to show for team building exercises!

    Teaming - teamwork on the fly - collaboration and coordination of different contexts to get work done - teaming - informal team - with 24/7 fast paced operations we are forced to get into teaming - issues we face are so big we cant do them alone; humility sets in How to make sure teaming goes well - situational humility - curiosity to what others bring - psychological safety which leads to sacrifice Basic human challenges - it's hard to learn if you already know - me or you mindset

    "I study teaming" - "teaming is hard" - "here's a team" - "be a team." This wasn't very useful... She needed to get to specifics on how to become a team and how to rally people rather than telling us how difficult it is, and then jumping into an extreme example of a co-operative survival situation half a mile down a mineshaft. How could the developers of the demo city have overcome their professional culture clash? How can *we* overcome it? When jumping back to Chile, she teased at how many men were in such miserable conditions, and how dire the situation was. Then, running out of time, she briefly mentioned the team of people that engineered the rescue, but she didn't even touch on how everyone actually survived! After all, there is more to survival than food and water; what drove those men to all be psychologically bound to their survival? What issues did they face with their relationships in the refuge? Her ending at 12:39 , "... how quickly can you find the unique talents, skills, and hopes of your neighbor - and how quickly, in turn, can you convey what you bring?" should have been an opening statement, and had advice about that matter make up the majority of the talk. The quote and the ending statement were both on an entirely different level than the first 10 minutes of her presentation. Those two notions of getting to know people better and identifying strengths and weaknesses are what will help in gathering a group of individuals for a common purpose. If the title of the video were, "An introduction to teamwork" or something along those lines then the content would be more fitting. However, we come into this expecting to have learned a valuable skill which was not taught. Her voice gives her an incredible presence. I would definitely be interested in hearing more about how to turn a group of strangers into a team, and I see that she has quite a few books on the subject. But, based off of this, I'm not sold that she is the authority I should look to for that.

    She's trying to spread awareness of this fault so we can overcome it together... Like legit the biggest problem we has humans have that creates a barrier to understanding each other is the 10:50 statement our brains are wired to even alter our perception to make things fit to what you already believe is true. We have a great example of how it can go extremely wrong with flat earthers... Or lookup a video called Polybious by youtuber Ahoy, it has great examples of people believing something is true to the point of actually creating memories of it.

    I was at a conference once, watching a guy from a known large-scale brand giving a speech on "How to create an effective recruitment process with IT and HR?". After 25 minutes of him talking, there was a question asked from the audience "So, how do I do it, cause I didn't hear a thing about it in what you just said?". I feel the same here - it's a teaser, provoking us to read more into that subject. That's all fine, but a teaser should take like a minute or two, not 13 minutes.

    Here's how you really make A team: 1. Send a crack commando unit to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. 2. Have them promptly escape from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. 3. Still wanted by the government they'll survive as soldiers of fortune. Result: If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team.

    Overcome the technical barriers and overcome the social barriers Technical barriers are those that separate civil engineers from say software engineers - the different jargon, the different timeframes. If somebody says "This might take a long time" this means different things for the beforementioned engineers - a long time in software engineering might be 3-4 years. For a civil engineer it might be 10-15 years. Social barriers are what she mentioned at the very end, the know-it-all behavior some people bring to the table, the closed mindedness. If you overcome it and actually value the knowledge different sectors can provide things go a lot faster in return this also means that you should contribute your ideas, even if they sound stupid. Overcome the fear of looking stupid and provide an approach from your point of view and knowledge.

    Large cities are a relic of the last century. In the modern world with the internet and hyperconnectivity, we can all live in small towns or suburban-style cities with low pollution, neighborly communities, and green space more efficiently than in concentrated dirty large cities like London, New York, Hong Kong, etc. Hopefully, the world of colossal glass coffins is coming to an end. This pandemic certainly has sped things along quite a bit.

    TED talks viewers: she's white, like. she's a woman, dislike. But she's talking about the status quo of the patriarchy. Like. 2 likes vs 1 dislike = like this video. Do this kind of fucked up evaluation for every single video on this channel and you'll see the audience is inherently horrible. Still don't believe me? How many of you will turn on this video with disdain if she said she was a feminist or did another talk that you saw before this....about woman's rights or racism or something that says whites r bad? exactly
