Total members of the team would have been around 12 if the others would not have quit. The people who joined the team (or were selected, joined but quite too early)

  • amit
  • priya
  • himanshu
  • arjith
  • lakshya
  • sparsh

And no one ever discussed the real issue behind "why is everyone leaving?" it would have been a simple enough discussion -

  • the current vision of company is blurred
  • the current management is not capable of properly managing the team.

I guess there was a lack of trust and respect.

After the discussion today (25th Feb 2017), I am briefly writing about what should our team's core values should be

Values

  1. Be a life long learner - keep learning
    1. Learn from the best and try to be the best
  2. Be driven by "new" - try to keep innovating - keep building amazing ideas
  3. No is hard to say, Yes is hard to deliver - Be open to the impossible - a possibility for a solution starts with a Yes
    1. Be ready to jump in and figure it out
  4. Take risks for the possibility of delivering more value
  5. Listen, Learn and Improve
  6. The problems are the opportunities - let's do more and be more
    1. A problem would have n+1 solutions, where n is the number you have already tried - try again - learn and improve
    2. Challenge everything, find problem everywhere
  7. Be ready to change and improve
    1. Best ideas could be the ones that were initially rejected
    2. Best ideas can come from anywhere -
    3. Best idea must win
  8. Know
    1. What are you talking about
    2. What do you want to achieve
  9. Respect
    1. other's time
    2. other's ideas
    3. other's knowledge and help others improve on their mistakes
  10. Always start with WHY -> then WHAT. The HOW you leave to the person responsible.
  11. Trust & Transparency - among the team and members is paramount.

Culture

Providing meaning to chaos using Information (data), Innovation and achieving the Impossible.

  1. Innovation
  2. Information
  3. Impossible

Questions

  1. What is important - goal vs results?
  2. What comes first - customer vs team (people) vs product?
  3. How do we handle - an error/ a mistake?
  4. How do we handle tough discussions - keeping quite vs being straight forward?
  5. How do we solve a problem - copy-paste vs innovate vs interate?
