Your team is ugly ​

And so is mine. And that’s the way it should be:

• “Put-together” means hiding problems. We can’t fix things if we’re busy hiding the problems from view, instead of addressing them.
• “Pretty” doesn’t want to hear about flaws. We can’t improve if we can’t accept what needs to improve. This insecurity settles for “good” instead of unlocking “great”.
• “Ugly” accepts the facts and wants to improve. Personal and team development starts with a desire to grow. Without the desire, we’re stuck.

Have you guys been ugly with each other this week?
