- Give honest feedback, even if that means you need to deliver criticism.
- Raise concerns early, before it’s too late to change course on something you don’t agree with.
- Delegate tasks clearly, to keep people accountable to work. Communicate about what projects you’re most excited to take on.
- Don’t be a bystander. If you see a group message you can answer, respond to it. If there’s an unmet need you can address, do it.
- If you need help, ask for it. Let the team support you.
- Meet every Monday and Wednesday evening to co-work and keep on top of key checkpoints.
- Create a Google Doc with key to-dos for each checkpoint so we can go into every team meeting with an agenda.
- Leave each meeting with clear action items for what needs to be accomplished before the next class. Communicate them right after over Slack.
- Contribute your best effort to the work you do.
- Do a fun icebreaker every meeting. We’re working on how to create meaningful conversations for friends — we should connect meaningfully too.
