This fast read is an excellent Right-Minded Teamwork primer. In this book, RMT's 9 Right Choices are defined, and practical leader and teammate exercises are provided for applying each one. This book teaches team facilitators, team leaders, and teammates how to incorporate these 9 Right Choices to build unified teamwork that makes achieving team goals inevitable. Right-Minded Teamwork's 9 Right Choices At a glance, RMT's 9 Right Choices look like this:Make the Right-Minded Choice: Choose Reason Oneness or Separateness? Choose to Behave as One Right-Minded Communication: An End to Separateness Meaningful Vision: Make Your Dream Come True Work Agreements: Bring People Together as One Critical Few: Complete Important Tasks First Mistakes Happen: Correct Them, Don't Punish People Conflict Happens: Go to the Classroom, Not the Battleground Recognition: Make It Easy to Keep Going These nine teamwork choices are universal, self-evident, and self-validating. With these choices in your mind, you no longer have to wonder what you should do in any team situation. The answer will always be, "Do no harm, and work as one." How to Apply the 9 Right Choices in Your Team There is no single right way to apply the 9 Right Choices. But there are two possible scenarios that lend themselves well to team application. The first option is to ask all teammates to read this book and complete the survey at the end. You will then compile teammates' scores and comments and distribute the overall results to all teammates. As a full team, you will discuss the results and identify which Choices to apply in your team. The second option is to openly discuss, in a team meeting, just the first two of the 9 Right Choices. By the end of the meeting, teammates will have chosen several of their own "right" attitudes and work behaviors that they want to live by going forward. These team-wide "right choices" are captured in team Work Agreements that everyone agrees to follow. No matter which approach you choose, remember it is really about the dialogue. These 9 Choices are undoubtedly important, but they are secondary to your team's discussion of them. Regardless of your preferred approach, every application should include a healthy, functional, and empowering dialogue that moves your teammates towards acting and behaving as one unified team.
