Nov 15Best of 2015: The A(nti)-Team
by in Best of… on 2015-12-31Building a good, healthy team environment is hard. In this story, they just don't bother. --Remy
In the 1980’s, there was a TV show called The A-Team. There was the scrounger, who could scam anyone out of anything. He would make promises that were sort of true to get what he wanted (sound like marketing?) There was the tough guy who could intimidate anyone into doing anything. He knew how to get things done, but underneath it all, was a nice guy. There was the leader, who could always come up with a plan to save the day. And there was the one guy who was a little crazy (the good kind of crazy), but who you could count on in a pinch. There was also the occasional outside helper who would run interference and recon. This was a group of folks who worked as a well-oiled machine to get the job done. Failure was not an option! They were a team!
The A-Team never filed a project methodology document. No wonder they were wanted criminals.
