00.2 - Our Team (Roles and Strengths)
00.2 - Our Team (Roles and Strengths)
Hey guys,
A key part of building our future firm is understanding our individual strengths, how we best contribute, and how we fit together as a core team (Yi Xie, Leon, Claudia). This understanding helps us design roles that feel right, work efficiently, and allow us to support each other effectively.
Our Goal Here:
- To openly identify our natural talents and preferred ways of working.
- To provide constructive feedback on the strengths we see in each other.
- To collaboratively shape future roles that play to these strengths.
Important: This is a safe space for honest reflection and supportive feedback. There's no right or wrong answer; it's about recognizing the valuable and unique skills each of us brings.
How We'll Do This:
- Self-Reflect: Each of us takes time to consider the prompts under our name below.
- Share on Discord: Post your self-reflections in the
#00-4-core-team-rolesDiscord channel. - Share Peer Input: After reading others' posts, share the strengths you see in them on Discord. Also, suggest how your strengths might complement theirs.
- Discuss & Define: We'll use the Discord discussion to refine our understanding and start defining ideal future roles.
- (Later) Summarize: Once we have clarity, we can summarize the key points back in this note.
Discussion Prompts (For Discord Sharing)
Please share your thoughts on these points for yourself in the Discord channel:
