About this listen

 In this episode, Clint continues his conversation with David Allen and Ed Lamont, co-authors of the book “Team: Getting Things Done With Others.”
During the second part of their discussion, David and Ed unpack what breaks teams down (often in the simplest ways), and what it actually takes to build a culture of clarity, trust, and consistent execution, especially in today’s global, hybrid, 24/7 workplace.
From team “working standards” and better meeting roles to the power of delivering on commitments, they share practical frameworks teams can apply immediately to work with less stress, more alignment, and better results.
This is the second part of a two-part conversation.
Topics Covered:
  • The “London meeting” disaster and the one fix that would’ve changed everything
  • Team working standards (and why “show up on time” has to be agreed on)
  • Why modern work creates more burnout, complexity, and blurred expectations
  • What a “team mind sweep” is and why it helps teams focus
  • Capital-P Team Projects vs. small-p individual projects
  • Simple meeting upgrades: purpose, roles, outcomes, and time boundaries
  • How to build trust on distributed teams: “keep your agreements”
  • Making hybrid meetings fairer for remote voices
  • The biggest takeaway from the book: simple practices done consistently change everything
