Document Summary

Two features characterising attributes: stable: cause of failure is something that is unlikely to change, uncontrollable: cause of failure is something that is beyond team"s capacity to influence. Intelligent failure: result of conducting small, thoughtfully planned experiments; does not happen by accident and needs to be promoted by management; promotes learning. 3 key conditions for fostering intelligent failure: stable & familiar environment: team can experiment in behaviour, observe impact, draw inferences, low-risk environment: win-loss record is not on stake, low-arousal environment: not exposed to external crowd. L5 call half time: half time occurs at the temporal midpoint of a team"s work. L6 keep the membership stable: keeping team composition stable long enough that teammates can learn: 1) how to work together, how to combine efforts into coherent whole. Successful teams are unlikely to reflect & debrief: assume directly that they work successful because worked together effectively: success might have been of other source, so teamwork should still be analysed.
