That's a Wrap

We just shared a whole lot of tips for how to create an environment where Pioneers excel, and we thought a summary of those points might be helpful. While focusing on the needs of Pioneers, you'll want to watch out for turning off the other types. After all, you want everyone to excel, not just Pioneers. So we've added to our summary some ideas for how to keep things palatable for Guardians, the Pioneer's opposite.

To meet the needs of Pioneers To make it palatable for Guardians

Allow time for free-flowing discussion and idea generation. Timebox discussion so it doesn't carry on too long.

Brainstorm and whiteboard on the spot. When possible provide an option to prepare in advance, or at least take a few moments for quiet idea-generation before opening the floor.

Keep an open mind. Even if you can't say yes, try to avoid saying no. Let Guardians know there will be a time for critique, it just isn't now. Coach them on less soul-crushing ways to share concerns, such as saying “I like/I wish” and similar techniques.

Provide options for where, when, and how to work. Guardians likely want these options too!

Position them to do what they love and explain how more mundane tasks enable them to do so. Don't let Pioneers off the hook on some of the more mundane tasks.
