It seems that the more we connect, the more we create gravity around ourselves and the things that we want to do. In my experience this is even more true for team’s that are involved in product development.
The rule at work here seems to be:
“Teams are alive as they can build meaningful connections.”
This is perhaps why I love working in the agile software community. The more I play to my strength of connecting with other folks, especially teams, in meaningful ways and adding value, then the more the universe seems to respond by generating gravity that can then be used to spur on those interests.
