- Rick Kick and Kennedy Collins
Emily Webber
“Team members align themselves with their
management structure or functional leadership as
their primary identity, instead of their business or
customer value stream, making it easier for teams to
assume an “us” versus “them” posture.”

“At places where engineers aren’t in
charge, it feels like they just blindly apply
the bog-standard operating procedures
of the industry: working agile, doing
sprints, etc.”
Engineering
led
Emily Webber
“The objectivity of a data-driven
approach means that it can lead
insights that drive success without any
restricting factors or pre-conceptions…
a robust, replicable process rather than
personal opinion or convenience.”
Data led

“Product-led organizations make their
products the vehicle for acquiring and
retaining customers, driving growth, and
in
fl
uencing organizational priorities. They
represent the future of business in a
digital-

"If an individual has an overly
rigid professional identity, this
may lead to poor teamworking
and resistance to change…and
even bullying behaviours towards
those they consider different.”

First team principle
“leaders prioritize supporting their

peers more than they are to their
individual or “Second” teams.”

Emily Webber
Disciplines =! Roles
Emily Webber
Definitions of conceptual models of team-working
Multidisciplinary teams
Members may have separate
but interrelated roles and
maintain their own
disciplinary boundaries.
—
Additive, not integrative.
Interdisciplinary teams
Members may blur some
disciplinary boundaries but
still maintain a discipline-
speci
fi
c base.
—
Teams integrate closer to
complete a shared goal.
Transdisciplinary teams
Team members share roles
and goals. They share skills,
allowing others to learn as
well as acquire new skills.
—
A more blended team that
shares objectives and many
core skill sets as required to
achieve their overall goal.

medicine. Age and Ageing; vol. 48: 498–505 doi: 10.1093/ageing/afz021.
