Personal agility tip:
Your team does not feel safe.
If you assume they feel safe you will likely fail.

Remote tip:
Budgeting time/money to make sure everyone can interact in person.
Everything will feel inorganic to do virtually, so accept the discomfort and just do it.

Question:
When was the last time you reflected on a conversation that did not go the way you wanted and what was your contribution to that outcome?
Allowing someone to mentor
