This conversation turned into a fun project. I decided to meet as many teams as I could, and try to catalog “Rituals of Great Teams.” Since then I’ve talked to hundreds of teams — interviews, roundtable discussions, a survey or two, and lots of fun doc spelunking. As I met team after team and heard about both (a) the rituals they are proud of and (b) what they are hoping to learn from others, I found remarkable alignment. As this project grew, we were approached by a few publishers and are now planning to release the findings as a printed book in 2024.
Given the exploratory nature of this project, I decided that it would be helpful (and fun!) to write the book with others. So I’m inviting a few folks to officially join the Braintrust for helping co-create this book. If you sign up below, you’ll get early access to the manuscript and have the chance to comment and/or contribute directly. I will include the list of contributors in the book when published, and will also send a copy to each of you.
