Mission First Culture

What is a Mission First Team culture and how do you build it?

  • First Order of Business is to establish a Mission First Culture
  • Build your relationships before building your job, i.e. The real foundation of the job is not in the job, it’s in the relationships.
  • Trust is only built when people see the actions of the other party.
  • Interests of the project are pursued over individual interests
  • Embracing the paradigm of “Your problem is my problem, and my problem is your problem.”
  • The real partnering / collaboration is what happens in between formal sessions
  • Integrate Partnering into daily operations making them indistinguishable from the other.
  • Endeavor to help your counterparts achieve their individual interests but not at the expense of the mission.
