Shownotes

In this episode, I’m joined again by Kelly Mobeck to talk about one of those team challenges that sounds simple until somebody stops doing what they agreed to do.

We’re breaking down how to create clear agreements with evaluation team members, even when you are not technically anyone’s boss.

Kelly shares how to get clear on purpose and outcome, bring agreements to the group without sounding controlling, and follow up when things fall apart.

We also talk about curiosity versus judgment, how tone can completely change a conversation, and when AI tools can help you soften an email before you hit send.

Highlights:

(02:48) - What actually makes an agreement different from a nice idea everyone forgets about

(04:07) - Kelly’s P and O rule: get clear on the purpose and outcome before you do anything else

(08:54) - How to put on your courage pants and lead the conversation without acting like the boss

(10:50) - Someone broke the agreement. Now what?

(13:37) - Why “We’re all adults, just do your job” probably isn’t going to move anything forward

(20:00) - When your email sounds way snarkier than it did in your head, AI might actually save you
