Building Creative Teams: Motivation Engagement and Retrospectives
This document discusses building creative teams through motivation, engagement, and retrospectives. It provides techniques for generating new ideas such as using metaphor and imagining futures. It also discusses building trust, engagement, and drive among team members using models like ABCD for trust and SCARF for engagement. Finally, it proposes rethinking retrospectives as creative tools by focusing on play, ideation, and envisioning potential futures rather than just analyzing past problems. The goal is to support creative thinking and help teams craft their own success stories.

Editor's Notes
- #12 Creativity happens alone, inside an individual, lit connection of ideas. But innovation is a social / community phenomena: to succeed you need multiple perspectives, and validation within a social context "Almost always great new ideas don’t emerge from within a single person or function, but at the intersection of functions or people that have never met before." - Clayton Christensen Creativity is individual: it’s true, sometimes we come up with better ideas alone, and we incubate them alone, and sometimes we develop them better alone. But to change the world you need to be in and of the world; because ideas work together, build, feed, chance & connected mind.

- #20 Leadership trust – I’m safe at work To be honest, we must have trust – otherwise we’re trying not to offend people, trying to be respectful. Don’t share our ideas Able - Competent ; Believable: make promises they can keep; Connected – Relate, not distant; Dependable: fulfil their part of the bargain
- #21 I like my work – towards response Status: recognition
- #22 I want to give my best at work Purpose: Must connect to a feeling state - stories
- #25 We synthesise happiness - able to work with obstacles, don’t need plain sailing, need to see purpose in what we’re doing. Story: Architects, surly -> positive & contributing, excited.

- #30 no mechanism for understanding; sandwich effect; mires us in problem thinking Retro is a punishment for a bad sprint Actions and Ideas limited by lack of safety, but also absence of idea generating process
