How to do anything in 3 hard steps!
1. Find something worth holding onto and hold on to it. Write things down.
- When working in a collaboration having a purpose and agreeing from the start will help things run smoothly and not cause conflict between the group.
2. Do everything with fun, love, colour and cups of tea. Prioritise the vibe.
- Listen out for peoples feelings and take those feelings as legit information. If people are feeling funky outside of the project it will effect how they are feeling towards a project so it is good to know this before moving forward.
- Ask people how they are feeling before everything meeting with a simple 'how are you guys doing today?'
- When something feels good its normally because it is good.
- When you work in a 'workers co-op' you are all equal owners and players.
- What to do when there is no boss? Have a stewarding system. Stewarding helps fill the gap when there is no boss. Have number 1 talk to number 2 in the group and so on.... 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 etc.
3. Hold on to #1 and throw everything else out everyday. Try everything.
- If something is not working throw it out!
- Your brain is often tricking you into thinking that you are smarter than you are.
- Think of the smartest thing you can do / offer someone in relation to their project? Help people.
- Think about what your users actually need?
- At the start of each group meeting ask some simple questions about peoples development like 'What did you do yesterday? what are you doing today? what is blocking you?'
- Validate a problem and prototype it!
- Just reach out! Don't hesitate. People are really receptive.
