Emma S

An informative and inspiring guide to building great teams

3 September 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

One of the best books I have read on building and maintaining team culture. Em clearly has a depth and breadth of experience working with teams and this is brought to life in her engaging style. The stories are real and raw - talking to both successes and learnings. There are nuggets of information on every page with easy to follow take-aways that can be applied to any team situation. It's wonderful to have on Kindle to search and revisit key information - I never go more than a few weeks without referring to it. Briliant book!

A great read with practical take-aways

31 March 2017

Format: Kindle Edition

Em Campbell-Pretty tells a very personal and human story about how to create awesome tribes. Her book is full of useful take-aways, real life examples and practical ideas people can use. One big lesson shared is that success is often based on having the courage to seize opportunities. Eve seasoned Agilists will find something here! I certainly did.

A must read when building up team of teams (a tribe, an Agile Release Train, …)

9 March 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

Em Campbell-Pretty is the author of Tribal Unity – Getting from Teams to Tribes by Creating a One Team Culture.

“Birds flock, fish swim, people ‘tribe’” – David Logan

“A tribe is a group of people connected to one another, connected to a leader, and connected to an idea” – Seth Godin. Em’s first tribe is her EDW Agile Release Train, a team of teams in line with SAFe.

The book is broken into six sections.

In the first section we explore how to build great teams in order to create a solid foundation for a great tribe. Topics like team size, self-selection, delegation poker, using retrospective on cadence, visualization, daily communication, having a social contract and where possible be co-located are explained.

In the second section we get a lot of techniques for connecting teams and creating tribes to build a one team Culture. What’s the value of a shared identity? Strengthen the connection between and aligning the teams in the tribe by organizing unity hour and a daily cocktail hour. Visualizing the tribes work and maintaining the connection between team members by using chapters and guilds. Celebrate successes and share failures with the whole tribe and implement tribal kaizen rituals.

Section 3 puts the leader in the spotlight and explains ways to connect the leader with the tribe. A successful tribe leader needs to participate in the change they are leading. The leader needs to facilitate training, coaching, time and space to innovate, create connections by spending time at the Gemba and create a safe environment and build a strong team of lieutenants. They cultivate Love, generate Energy, inspire Audacity and provide Proof (LEAP).

In section 4 we get techniques to connect the tribe with an idea. The idea must generate the energy, provides alignment and helps the tribe pull together in times of crises. As a tribe leader you have to believe in, commit to and share your idea and communicate, and communicate and communicate. Book clubs, unity hours and cocktails hours can be leveraged to help to increase awareness of your vision.

Section 5 explores ways for sustaining tribal unity by monitoring the tribe’s health by using an employee Net Promotor Score (eNPS), use storytelling to remind your tribe of where it came from and reinforce your tribe’s values, be disciplined about your tribe’s rituals and values. And finally develop a team of potential successors.

The last section gives food for thought to engage management in tribal unity.

In the appendix we get The tribal unity checklist to give you a jump start when building your own tribe.

Conclusion: A must read when building up team of teams (a tribe, an Agile Release Train, …). The book is practical, inspiring and energizing. You get a lot techniques, real life examples and references to helpful books, articles on the web, videos and many, many quotes. I add one: “When spider webs unite, they can tie up a lion” – African proverb

Good guidance for building high-performing ARTs

24 November 2016 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

It was an enjoyable read and I find it to be a good source of info on building strong, self-organizing teams-of-teams.

Pros:
- one in-depth example, based on Em's experience with EDW Agile Release Train
- a good description of specific practices with examples of how to make a tribe operate in a cohesive manner
- very importantly: quite a bit of attention to helping leaders cross the chasm and not only become a part of the game but actually enable the tribe to achieve more
- besides, a very good in-line overview of literature on related topics

Cons:
- I think the book would benefit from a bit more parallels between specific tribe practices and SAFe events (other than just PI Planning).
- in the future (let's say, 2nd edition) it would be great to see other companies' experiences and other release trains. That would allow to compare different tribe practices in terms of where they work best and where they don't and how to make adjustments based on the context.

I think I would like to organize a book club meeting at my company on "Tribal Unity".

CREATE A ONE TEAM CULTURE !!!

2 November 2016 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Em’s wholehearted and passionate voice is carried throughout her personal account of transforming a toxic work environment into a place where a high performing tribe (team of teams) can thrive. Her story is split into 6 parts: creating great teams, connecting teams and creating your tribe, connecting to a leader, connecting to an idea, sustaining tribal unity, and engaging management in tribal unity. Summaries at the end of each part along with a “Tribal Unity Checklist” in the appendix – create an easily accessible and usable guide for your own journey.

Em didn’t do this on her own though and she gladly recognizes it. She provides references to previous works that guided her thinking, she asks for and accepts counsel, appreciates her teams that do the work, and finally - follows her own intuition to success.

On a more personal level, within these pages (and her blog), Em demonstrates the seven pillars of servant leadership: 1) person of character 2) puts people first 3) skilled communicator 4) compassionate collaborator 5) has foresight 6) systems thinker, and 7) leads with moral authority.

Thank you Em for this contribution to the community!!
