The Huddle
What’s top of mind for us this week? Expanding our reach. Brett joined The Agile Network as an expert, diving into conversations on Teamangle, communication, collaboration, and digital project management. It’s a whole new audience, and we’re excited to see where it leads. Meanwhile, Greg is celebrating the launch of The Field Report, our new newsletter—and the response has been better than expected! Turns out, when you put out good content, people actually read it. Who knew?
The Review: This Week’s Topic
You have 8 seconds—make them count.
We’re drowning in information, but attention is in short supply. Studies say our attention spans have dropped from 12 seconds to 8 seconds in just over a decade. Whether that’s accurate or not, one thing is clear: if your team is confused about priorities, direction, or expectations, it’s not their fault—it’s on you.
We break it down with five key questions and discussion that leads to a laugh or two and some insights on what makes Same Team tick.
We also published two new Teamangle articles this week:
- How diversity in planning and teamwork leads to breakthrough success
- The power of inclusive planning: how to involve diverse perspectives
