Build teams worth listening to.
Here's how you do it, and what to avoid...
1. Experts
2. Amateurs
3. Modifiers
4. Anti-modifiers
An article I wrote about experts:
medium.com/@evanlapointe/…
When we don't listen to experts, we make avoidable mistakes that decrease performance and/or require more effort than necessary to succeed.
They will have a high probability of driving poor decisions, prioritization, and actions will be imprecise.
But that's where it stops...
Not listening to modifiers will destroy your business.
Anti-modifiers are the worst.
We should try to give them opportunities to change, but anti-modifiers often struggle to grow.
If your team has a higher proportion of amateurs and any anti-modifiers, you have a team not worth listening to.
Obvious? Yes.
Seen often? No.
