In this episode from the Testing Peers, Chris, David, Simon and Russell discuss what empowerment means to them and how they go about empowering their teams. We also go off on our usually slight tangent and talk a little about teams as a whole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>\u201cIn technology, it\u2019s about the people\u2013getting the best people, retaining them, nurturing a&nbsp;creative environment, and helping to find a way to innovate.\u201d <\/em><\/p><cite><em>~Marissa Mayer, Yaho<\/em>o<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To me empowerment is key concept to understand to build high functioning happy teams. I believe it&#8217;s rare to have a high functioning team that is not happy. How do you make teams happy? Well doing away with command and control cultures and building empowering cultures it&#8217;s a great start. To see what I mean, take a look at Charlene Li TED talk on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/charlene_li_efficient_leadership_in_the_digital_era?utm_campaign=tedspread&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=tedcomshare\" target=\"_blank\">Efficient leadership in the digital era<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Testing Peers, we want our teams to be empowered, engaged and happy, and we want the same for ourselves.  We&#8217;re happy to admit we&#8217;re not perfect at it, we&#8217;re constantly learning as we meet new challenges and experiences. We all need the psychological safety an empowered environment can give. If you&#8217;ve not heard of Googles work on teams I&#8217;d recommend you take a look at <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/rework.withgoogle.com\/print\/guides\/5721312655835136\/\" target=\"_blank\">Project Aristotle<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ll not give away any spoilers to the podcast but we&#8217;d love to hear your empowerment successes and failures and we&#8217;ll probably touch on the subject again in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let us know your thoughts on this or anything else you wish to share with us, either contact us on Twitter (<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/testingpeers\" target=\"_blank\">@TestingPeers<\/a>) or email us at <a href=\"mailto:contactus@testingpeers.com\">contactus@testingpeers.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to episode 3, the Testing Peers talk about their experiences around empowering teams, what has worked and what didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":299,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[9],"tags":[27,26,10,25],"series":[208],"class_list":["post-184","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-podcast","tag-empowering","tag-empowerment","tag-podcast","tag-teams","series-testing-peers"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Welcome to episode 3, the Testing Peers talk about their experiences around empowering teams, what has worked and what didn&#039;t.\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"max-image-preview:large\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Russell Craxford\"\/>\n\t<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/testingpeers.com\/?p=184\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"generator\" content=\"All in One SEO (AIOSEO) 4.9.10\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Testing  Peers -\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Podcast Episode 3 \u2013 Empowering teams - Testing Peers\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Welcome to episode 3, the Testing Peers talk about their experiences around empowering teams, what has worked and what didn&#039;t.\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/testingpeers.com\/?p=184\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-06-07T22:36:59+00:00\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-08-26T18:28:03+00:00\" \/>\n\t\t<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n\t\t<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Podcast Episode 3 \u2013 Empowering teams - Testing Peers\" \/>\n\t\t<meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"Welcome to episode 3, the Testing Peers talk about their experiences around empowering teams, what has worked and what didn&#039;t.\" \/>\n\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"aioseo-schema\">\n\t\t\t{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"BlogPosting\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/testingpeers.com\\\/?p=184#blogposting\",\"name\":\"Podcast Episode 3 \\u2013 Empowering teams - Testing Peers\",\"headline\":\"Podcast Episode 3 &#8211;
