So what is a T-shaped team? Why is it important? What should you know about it? Today Elvin Assiam gives us his first recording in Wednesday Wisdom.

Is a retrospective absolutely needed? Do we have to do it? Why?

What happens if your teams are clear on purpose, alignment and context and are working together from day one as a high-performing team that shares the same values and goals?
