Communication

Communication.

Everyone involved in this project should feel free to communicate with anyone else in a fearless fashion. We need to all feel comfortable communicating with each other and acting professionally. To do this we should always assume positive intent as an axiom for dealing with each other. Ultimately any relationship, rather it be work relationships or not, rely on the parties communicating openly to reach a goal with no fear of repercussions from that interchange.

We are all talented people nearing the end of our education and starting to enter into the work force, fearless feedback is the cornerstone of this. Teams communicating amongst themselves and with other teams never assume that those giving them feedback are negative, as every team is working together towards a shared goal. If you find yourself giving a teammate "fearless feedback" don't feel like you are attacking them, you are not, you are working with a team member to synthesize a solution.

The other side of the coin, should you find yourself receiving fearless feedback, you should assume that the person giving you feedback is acting with positive intent. Listen to them and consider what they say, perhaps you disagree but you should be able to reach an amicable solution.

The closer we work as a team the better we will work as a team, open and fearless communication will help us to achieve our goal..
