About this Booklet
• Although I present this in the form of a PowerPoint
presentation, this is really a booklet to be read and not
something to be projected on a wall in a group setting.
• If you‟d like others to read this, please send them a link
via Twitter, LinkedIn or Facebook, rather than distribute
hard copies. I‟m told that this will increase my ranking on
Google and thus my chances of becoming rich and
famous one day.

Homage to Peter Block
• The basic thrust of this article was inspired by Peter
Block‟s great book, Flawless Consulting. Read it,
especially if you are an internal consultant.

Homage to Casey Stengel
• According to Casey Stengel, Hall of Fame manager of the
Yankees and the Mets…
• “Getting great players is the easy part; the hard part is
getting „em to play together.”

Your Objective
• You will find this short read very helpful if your objective is
to…
• Increase the ratio of “teamish” behavior to selfish
behavior among the members of your team.
© 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
Teamish is…
• What are the behaviors you‟d see if teamwork among
members of your team was extraordinarily good?
• Come up with at least a few answers before advancing
to the next slide.
© 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
Teamish is…
• Here are some words and phrases often used to describe
teamish behaviors:
• Pitches in without being asked.
• Shares information and resources.
• Asks others: “How can I help?”
• Asks others: “How are things going for you?”
• Recognizes the efforts and accomplishments of others.
• Seeks the opinions and insights of others.
• Expresses concerns openly.
• Seeks first to understand, then to be understood.
© 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
Selfish is…
• What are the behaviors you‟d see if teamwork among
members of your team was extraordinarily bad—if your
players were consistently selfish?
• Come up with at least a few words or phrases before
advancing to the next slide.
© 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
Selfish is…
• Here are some words and phrases often used to describe
a selfish worker:
• Hoards rather than shares information and resources.
• Takes actions without considering their impact on
others.
• Demonstrates indifference to the efforts and
accomplishments of others.
• Turns a deaf ear to the opinions and insights of others.
• Nurses grievances privately.
• Always attempts to get their way.
© 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
The Root Cause is…
• Now imagine that we could rate a team by percentile
according to its Teamishness/Selfishness (henceforth T/S)
ratio.
© 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
The Root Cause is…
• Now imagine that we could rate a team by percentile
according to its Teamishness/Selfishness (henceforth T/S)
ratio.
• Now ask yourself what would be the probable causes of a
low T/S ranking?
• Think of at least several possible answers before
advancing.
© 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
Selfish People?
• If you answered “selfish people,” you are right in a way,
but your answer just raises another question; “Why are
your selfish teammates acting selfishly much of the time?”
© 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
Selfish People?
• If you answered “selfish people,” you are right in a way,
but your answer just raises another question; “Why are
your selfish teammates acting selfishly much of the time?”
• This isn‟t a trick question; try to think of at least one
answer before advancing.
© 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
The Joys of Selfishness
• Now ask yourself the question, “What are the rewards of
acting selfishly?”
• Think of at least one or two answers before advancing.
© 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
The Joys of Selfishness
• Here are some of the answers you may have thought of…
• Praise
• Recognition
• Status
• Flexibility
• Money
• Fame
• Ease
© 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
Crazy?
• Now ask yourself, “What idiot would reward selfishness
with praise, money, status, etc?”
• Try to think of at least one answer before turning the
page.
© 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
Crazy?
• This one has a correct answer: The idiot who rewards the
selfishness of your team members is…you! (Assuming, of
course, that you are the team‟s leader.)

Crazy?
• This one has a correct answer: The idiot who rewards the
selfishness of your team members is…you! (Assuming, of
course, that you are the team‟s leader.)
• You may talk a good game about teamwork, but when it
comes to doling out the goodies, you are probably
delivering them on the basis of individual achievement
and not on the basis of contribution to the team’s welfare.

• As Pogo once said…”We has met the enemy, and they is
us.”

Money
• As many researchers have found, money isn‟t the
greatest motivator, but it‟s the most tangible payback for
performance and behavior, so I‟ll start with it.
© 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
Money Questions
• Ask yourself these two critical questions:
© 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
Money
• Ask yourself these two critical questions:
• Have I based my decisions about raises, bonuses and
promotions more on an individual‟s achievements, or
more on their teamishness?
© 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
Money
• Ask yourself these two critical questions:
• Have I based my decisions about raises, bonuses and
promotions more on an individual‟s achievements, or
more on their teamishness?
• Does the individual clearly understand that their raises,
bonuses and promotions have been based more on
their contribution to the team‟s success rather than on
their individual achievements?

• Does the individual clearly understand that their raises,
bonuses and promotions have been based more on
their contribution to the team‟s success rather than on
their individual achievements?
• If you answered no to these questions, you probably need
to increase your reinforcement of teamish behavior.
© 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
Fame, Glory, Praise, Recognition
• Social rewards such as praise and recognition often play
a greater role in shaping someone‟s decisions than does
money or the prospect of promotion. Chances are good
that you supply these rewards, too, based more on
individual achievement than on contribution to the team‟s
effort.

• Examine your conscience concerning social rewards, and
consider adjusting the balance of reinforcement of selfish
and teamish behaviors.

Get Granular
• All of us are mostly blissfully unaware of the messages
we are sending to others via our “non-verbals”—things
like our facial expressions, body language, eye contact,
intonation, etc.

• All of us are mostly blissfully unaware of the messages

• Your employees are paying much more attention than you
think to your non-verbals and may look for your true
meaning in them rather than in your words.

• Your employees are paying much more attention than you

meaning in them rather than in your words.
• Become more aware of your non-verbals, and do your
best to ensure that they reinforce teamish behavior.
© 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
Teammate-to-Teammate
• You aren‟t the only supplier of rewards to your team
members. Particularly when it comes to social
recognition, teammate-to-teammate interaction can
greatly influence behavior.
© 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
Mate-to-Mate Reinforcement
• The behaviors your team members are reinforcing in one
another may be teamish or selfish.
© 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
Mate-to-Mate Reinforcement
• The behaviors your team members are reinforcing in one
another may be teamish or selfish.
• Why would one team member reinforce selfishness in a
fellow team member?
• Try to think of an explanation before advancing.

M2M Reinforcement Explained
• There are at least two possible explanations for
teammates reinforcing one another‟s selfishness:

M2M Reinforcement Explained
• There are at least two possible explanations for
teammates reinforcing one another‟s selfishness:
• They‟ve seen it done so often by others—including
you—that it doesn‟t occur to them not to reinforce
selfishness.

scratch mine.” (This is a sort of “conspiracy of

Reinforce Your Reinforcers
• If mate-to-mate reinforcement is reinforcing the wrong
behaviors, your role is to “reinforce the reinforcers” for
reinforcing the right behaviors.
© 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
Reinforce Your Reinforcers
• If mate-to-mate reinforcement is reinforcing the wrong
behaviors, your role is to “reinforce the reinforcers” for
reinforcing the right behaviors.
• How much of this do you need to do? Simple…do it until
you see the change in behavior that you are driving for.
© 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
Punish Your Reinforcers?
• Would it ever be appropriate for you to punish your
teammates for reinforcing the wrong things in one
another?
© 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
Punish Your Reinforcers?
• Would it ever be appropriate for you to punish your
teammates for reinforcing the wrong things in one
another?
• No, unless something really heinous is going on, which is
highly unlikely.

Your Boss is Part of the Problem
• Chances are that your boss is also a part of your problem.
© 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
Your Boss is Part of the Problem
• Chances are that your boss is also a part of your problem.
• If the boss provides feedback to your team members that
reinforces selfishness, it‟s your job to change your boss.
© 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
Your Boss is Part of the Problem
• Chances are that your boss is also a part of your problem.
• If the boss provides feedback to your team members that
reinforces selfishness, it‟s your job to change your boss.
• “And how the heck am I going to manage that?” you ask.

Your Boss is Part of the Problem
• Chances are that your boss is also a part of your problem.
• If the boss provides feedback to your team members that
reinforces selfishness, it‟s your job to change your boss.
• “And how the heck am I going to manage that?” you ask.
• The answer is that you have much more potential
influence over your boss than you might think. Just say,
“Thank you for letting Jack know his importance to the
team effort,” and keep at it and, eventually, the boss will
have acquired a new habit.
• It‟s not that simple, of course, but I‟ll leave a full
treatment of the topic of reinforcement for another time.

unfavorable, unless a new stream of reinforcement begins
to flow in your direction.

Mum‟s the Word
• Please don‟t announce your determination to transform
your team. This could inflate your team members‟ anxiety
and/or set them up to judge your every action to see if you
are really walking your talk.

• Don‟t be surprised if some of your players resist your shift

• These are typically those who have received a lot of
reinforcement—until now—for having achieved much as
an individual contributor. They may resent any movement
of your spotlight away from their spot on the stage and
may “act out” their resentment until they are convinced
that they can‟t move you backwards.

Why Teams Aren't Teamish (and What You Can Do about It)

  • 1. WHY TEAMS AREN‟T “TEAMISH” And What You Can Do about It © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 2. About this Booklet • Although I present this in the form of a PowerPoint presentation, this is really a booklet to be read and not something to be projected on a wall in a group setting. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs right wrong
  • 3. About this Booklet • Although I present this in the form of a PowerPoint presentation, this is really a booklet to be read and not something to be projected on a wall in a group setting. • If you‟d like others to read this, please send them a link via Twitter, LinkedIn or Facebook, rather than distribute hard copies. I‟m told that this will increase my ranking on Google and thus my chances of becoming rich and famous one day. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 4. About this Booklet • Although I present this in the form of a PowerPoint presentation, this is really a booklet to be read and not something to be projected on a wall in a group setting. • If you‟d like others to read this, please send them a link via Twitter, LinkedIn or Facebook, rather than distribute hard copies. I‟m told that this will increase my ranking on Google and thus my chances of becoming rich and famous one day. • If you‟d like to have a version of this booklet suitable to a group setting, or a cooler, more interactive version suitable for online self-study, just ask; you‟ll find my contact info on the final slide. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 5. Homage to Peter Block • The basic thrust of this article was inspired by Peter Block‟s great book, Flawless Consulting. Read it, especially if you are an internal consultant. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 6. Homage to Casey Stengel • According to Casey Stengel, Hall of Fame manager of the Yankees and the Mets… • “Getting great players is the easy part; the hard part is getting „em to play together.” © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 7. Your Objective • You will find this short read very helpful if your objective is to… • Increase the ratio of “teamish” behavior to selfish behavior among the members of your team. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 8. Teamish is… • What are the behaviors you‟d see if teamwork among members of your team was extraordinarily good? • Come up with at least a few answers before advancing to the next slide. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 9. Teamish is… • Here are some words and phrases often used to describe teamish behaviors: • Pitches in without being asked. • Shares information and resources. • Asks others: “How can I help?” • Asks others: “How are things going for you?” • Recognizes the efforts and accomplishments of others. • Seeks the opinions and insights of others. • Expresses concerns openly. • Seeks first to understand, then to be understood. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 10. Selfish is… • What are the behaviors you‟d see if teamwork among members of your team was extraordinarily bad—if your players were consistently selfish? • Come up with at least a few words or phrases before advancing to the next slide. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 11. Selfish is… • Here are some words and phrases often used to describe a selfish worker: • Hoards rather than shares information and resources. • Takes actions without considering their impact on others. • Demonstrates indifference to the efforts and accomplishments of others. • Turns a deaf ear to the opinions and insights of others. • Nurses grievances privately. • Always attempts to get their way. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 12. The Root Cause is… • Now imagine that we could rate a team by percentile according to its Teamishness/Selfishness (henceforth T/S) ratio. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 13. The Root Cause is… • Now imagine that we could rate a team by percentile according to its Teamishness/Selfishness (henceforth T/S) ratio. • Now ask yourself what would be the probable causes of a low T/S ranking? • Think of at least several possible answers before advancing. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 14. Selfish People? • If you answered “selfish people,” you are right in a way, but your answer just raises another question; “Why are your selfish teammates acting selfishly much of the time?” © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 15. Selfish People? • If you answered “selfish people,” you are right in a way, but your answer just raises another question; “Why are your selfish teammates acting selfishly much of the time?” • This isn‟t a trick question; try to think of at least one answer before advancing. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 16. The Joys of Selfishness • Now ask yourself the question, “What are the rewards of acting selfishly?” • Think of at least one or two answers before advancing. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 17. The Joys of Selfishness • Here are some of the answers you may have thought of… • Praise • Recognition • Status • Flexibility • Money • Fame • Ease © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 18. Crazy? • Now ask yourself, “What idiot would reward selfishness with praise, money, status, etc?” • Try to think of at least one answer before turning the page. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 19. Crazy? • This one has a correct answer: The idiot who rewards the selfishness of your team members is…you! (Assuming, of course, that you are the team‟s leader.) © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 20. Crazy? • This one has a correct answer: The idiot who rewards the selfishness of your team members is…you! (Assuming, of course, that you are the team‟s leader.) • You may talk a good game about teamwork, but when it comes to doling out the goodies, you are probably delivering them on the basis of individual achievement and not on the basis of contribution to the team’s welfare. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 21. Crazy? • This one has a correct answer: The idiot who rewards the selfishness of your team members is…you! (Assuming, of course, that you are the team‟s leader.) • You may talk a good game about teamwork, but when it comes to doling out the goodies, you are probably delivering them on the basis of individual achievement and not on the basis of contribution to the team’s welfare. • As Pogo once said…”We has met the enemy, and they is us.” © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 22. Money • As many researchers have found, money isn‟t the greatest motivator, but it‟s the most tangible payback for performance and behavior, so I‟ll start with it. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 23. Money Questions • Ask yourself these two critical questions: © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 24. Money • Ask yourself these two critical questions: • Have I based my decisions about raises, bonuses and promotions more on an individual‟s achievements, or more on their teamishness? © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 25. Money • Ask yourself these two critical questions: • Have I based my decisions about raises, bonuses and promotions more on an individual‟s achievements, or more on their teamishness? • Does the individual clearly understand that their raises, bonuses and promotions have been based more on their contribution to the team‟s success rather than on their individual achievements? © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 26. Money • Ask yourself these two critical questions: • Have I based my decisions about raises, bonuses and promotions more on an individual‟s achievements, or more on their teamishness? • Does the individual clearly understand that their raises, bonuses and promotions have been based more on their contribution to the team‟s success rather than on their individual achievements? • If you answered no to these questions, you probably need to increase your reinforcement of teamish behavior. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 27. Fame, Glory, Praise, Recognition • Social rewards such as praise and recognition often play a greater role in shaping someone‟s decisions than does money or the prospect of promotion. Chances are good that you supply these rewards, too, based more on individual achievement than on contribution to the team‟s effort. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 28. Fame, Glory, Praise, Recognition • Social rewards such as praise and recognition often play a greater role in shaping someone‟s decisions than does money or the prospect of promotion. Chances are good that you supply these rewards, too, based more on individual achievement than on contribution to the team‟s effort. • Examine your conscience concerning social rewards, and consider adjusting the balance of reinforcement of selfish and teamish behaviors. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 29. Get Granular • All of us are mostly blissfully unaware of the messages we are sending to others via our “non-verbals”—things like our facial expressions, body language, eye contact, intonation, etc. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 30. Get Granular • All of us are mostly blissfully unaware of the messages we are sending to others via our “non-verbals”—things like our facial expressions, body language, eye contact, intonation, etc. • Your employees are paying much more attention than you think to your non-verbals and may look for your true meaning in them rather than in your words. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 31. Get Granular • All of us are mostly blissfully unaware of the messages we are sending to others via our “non-verbals”—things like our facial expressions, body language, eye contact, intonation, etc. • Your employees are paying much more attention than you think to your non-verbals and may look for your true meaning in them rather than in your words. • Become more aware of your non-verbals, and do your best to ensure that they reinforce teamish behavior. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 32. Teammate-to-Teammate • You aren‟t the only supplier of rewards to your team members. Particularly when it comes to social recognition, teammate-to-teammate interaction can greatly influence behavior. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 33. Mate-to-Mate Reinforcement • The behaviors your team members are reinforcing in one another may be teamish or selfish. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 34. Mate-to-Mate Reinforcement • The behaviors your team members are reinforcing in one another may be teamish or selfish. • Why would one team member reinforce selfishness in a fellow team member? • Try to think of an explanation before advancing. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 35. M2M Reinforcement Explained • There are at least two possible explanations for teammates reinforcing one another‟s selfishness: © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 36. M2M Reinforcement Explained • There are at least two possible explanations for teammates reinforcing one another‟s selfishness: • They‟ve seen it done so often by others—including you—that it doesn‟t occur to them not to reinforce selfishness. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 37. M2M Reinforcement Explained • There are at least two possible explanations for teammates reinforcing one another‟s selfishness: • They‟ve seen it done so often by others—including you—that it doesn‟t occur to them not to reinforce selfishness. • They are demonstrating “You scratch my back and I‟ll scratch mine.” (This is a sort of “conspiracy of selfishness.”) © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 38. M2M Reinforcement Explained • There are at least two possible explanations for teammates reinforcing one another‟s selfishness: • They‟ve seen it done so often by others—including you—that it doesn‟t occur to them not to reinforce selfishness. • They are demonstrating “You scratch my back and I‟ll scratch mine.” (This is a sort of “conspiracy of selfishness.”) • What can you do if mate-to-mate reinforcement is reinforcing the wrong behaviors? • Try to think of an answer before advancing. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 39. Reinforce Your Reinforcers • If mate-to-mate reinforcement is reinforcing the wrong behaviors, your role is to “reinforce the reinforcers” for reinforcing the right behaviors. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 40. Reinforce Your Reinforcers • If mate-to-mate reinforcement is reinforcing the wrong behaviors, your role is to “reinforce the reinforcers” for reinforcing the right behaviors. • How much of this do you need to do? Simple…do it until you see the change in behavior that you are driving for. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 41. Punish Your Reinforcers? • Would it ever be appropriate for you to punish your teammates for reinforcing the wrong things in one another? © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 42. Punish Your Reinforcers? • Would it ever be appropriate for you to punish your teammates for reinforcing the wrong things in one another? • No, unless something really heinous is going on, which is highly unlikely. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 43. Your Boss is Part of the Problem • Chances are that your boss is also a part of your problem. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 44. Your Boss is Part of the Problem • Chances are that your boss is also a part of your problem. • If the boss provides feedback to your team members that reinforces selfishness, it‟s your job to change your boss. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 45. Your Boss is Part of the Problem • Chances are that your boss is also a part of your problem. • If the boss provides feedback to your team members that reinforces selfishness, it‟s your job to change your boss. • “And how the heck am I going to manage that?” you ask. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 46. Your Boss is Part of the Problem • Chances are that your boss is also a part of your problem. • If the boss provides feedback to your team members that reinforces selfishness, it‟s your job to change your boss. • “And how the heck am I going to manage that?” you ask. • The answer is that you have much more potential influence over your boss than you might think. Just say, “Thank you for letting Jack know his importance to the team effort,” and keep at it and, eventually, the boss will have acquired a new habit. • It‟s not that simple, of course, but I‟ll leave a full treatment of the topic of reinforcement for another time. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs

  • 54. Engineer Your Own Reinforcement • You‟re not any different than your team members or your boss. The odds that you can acquire new behaviors are unfavorable, unless a new stream of reinforcement begins to flow in your direction. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 55. Engineer Your Own Reinforcement • You‟re not any different than your team members or your boss. The odds that you can acquire new behaviors are unfavorable, unless a new stream of reinforcement begins to flow in your direction. • Some of that reinforcement might flow from your team members and some might flow from your boss, but don‟t count on it. Instead, devise ways to give yourself reinforcement for doing the right things. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs

  • 62. Mum‟s the Word • Please don‟t announce your determination to transform your team. This could inflate your team members‟ anxiety and/or set them up to judge your every action to see if you are really walking your talk. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 63. Party Poopers • Don‟t be surprised if some of your players resist your shift in focus to teamishness. © 2012 Maverick Learning Designs
  • 64. Party Poopers • Don‟t be surprised if some of your players resist your shift in focus to teamishness. • These are typically those who have received a lot of reinforcement—until now—for having achieved much as an individual contributor.
