Himanshu

* Successful teams find a way to make uncommon information common.  Just so long as unique info is shared.  "Common information effect"

===== Tuesday 15 June 2021 =====

* Mukund Rajagopalan
  * Catastrophising: Projecting catastrophes / doomsday scenario ahead of time
  * DISC - Social styles
    * Framework to analyse behaviours
  * We see the environment in different ways
  * The different styles allow us view and understand our teammates
  * Our style may evolve depending on the role we play in each context, over a period of time
  * The two axes are: Fast/Measured Pace vs Task/People focused
    * Can't we act and think fast ?  But that is a measurement of ability, not style.
  * DISC is about environment:
    * More/Less powerful than environment: Fast/Measured Pace
    * Unfavourable/Favourable environment: Task/People focussed
  * MBTI (Myers Briggs): how we make decisions (introversion/extroversion), DISC: how we perceive situations

    * Shirley: Perfectionist C, systematic, not a perfectionist, discuss amicably, Low I
    * Yoong Foong Chow: Perfectionist C, Project Manager, quick decision
    * Jackson Leong Jie Xing: Inspirational DI, ran businesses in Myanmar; I side to inspire team members to go along with decisions made.  try not to participate too much with the C part of the group.
    * Wee Kiong (Timothy?): Developer D, working environment yes; private: more S and I
    * suhaw: Developer D
  * For the team, recognise the distribution, e.g. low S, hence the likely pitfalls
  * Perhaps some members may step up to fill the gap
