What can jazz bands teach us about creating a team environment where everyone can contribute & flourish & the team can perform its very best work? A jazz band culture means: 1) Individual responsibility: everyone understands their role & is prepared to jump in to support others. 2) Mutual trust: everyone knows they have each other’s backs. 3) Adaptability: members create as they play & build on each other’s notes. 4) Experimental and learning mindsets: all team members value & respect this. 5) Deep listening and responsiveness: everyone is aware of who's playing what & what each person contributes to the whole. 6) Creativity and improvisation: based on core competencies.
