The Problem

We all have problems, and they are seldom unique.

Our experience

Everyday we hear experts explain how you or your organization could be better a thousand different ways. The truth is that the most successful and happy people are the ones who have found a combination of personal diligence and a system to follow that works, and they almost never do it alone. We are creating that systems solution that brings teams together to solve our personal and collective problems.

The systemic problems we see:

• We are often misaligned in our personal and professional agendas, and it often takes herculean psychological efforts to align people.
• Most of us do not know (“Price’s Law”) - who works and who does not, and most of us do not know that most of us do not do most of the work - and that 20% of employees generally do 80% of the work, and this appears to be “unfair” on it’s surface, but is the truth.
• We do not know, or have difficulty clearly articulating our values honestly and vulnerably.
• We waste time figuring out which coordinated actions to take together.
• It's hard to delegate and if we do we micro-manage.
• We duplicate each other’s efforts.
• We suck at negotiation, generally.
• We suck at time estimates, projections, and outcome prediction.
• Most of us hate/dislike our jobs.
• Most of our work is invisible which causes people to resort to politicking and manipulation for recognition, accolades, validation, and promotion - which most high-quality people detest, leading to the “Peter Principle”.
• Teams of people take a really long time (months/years) to really “hit a groove”.
• We don’t know who can use our skills and for what.
• We suck at implementing solutions.
• It's easy to be told what to do.
• What is fair is really hard to figure out.
• We don't always act in our best interest.
• We can't prioritize and follow our plan.

All these problems bubble up, creating dysfunctional organizations that became the status quo we see today.
