Collaborative velocity is about consistently sharing trust!
Our bet is that you may not fully understand its contextual importance, or leverage the core value of collaborative velocity? I didn't get it, and yet I learned that it's actually about a much deeper set of behaviors surrounding delegation, ownership and mutual respect. "Do as you wish to be done by", and it's a big way that we can help you to help your own team.
​
Collaborative velocity is the discipline to share, own, and trust each other's ideas on any team. This can ultimately become the glue that keeps your team together, especially in hard times. It's not about owning right or wrong ideas it's about how we trust each other to throw stuff on the wall, pick it apart, pressure test and take on ownership as founders that believe in an idea, path or strategy enough to want to own it!
​
The goal is to challenge each other to do our best work and OWN a strategy, and for everyone to collaborate, trust and create the best outcome. Every team needs to live (and die) by the idea that we each own early ideas, the kind that move the ball forward down the field. How many times have you been in a circle kicking the idea ball to each other but nobody owns it? I have millions of times, so the real value of collaborative velocity isn't in the sharing ideas, it's actually an exercise of delegation, ownership and trust.
