The document discusses collaboration patterns that can undermine teamwork and proposes ways to address them. It identifies common dysfunctional patterns like "hot potato" where tasks are passed around, and "floating islands" where people work independently. The presentation recommends observing such anti-patterns, understanding what triggers them, and strategizing new norms. Examples of improved patterns include "cool cucumber" and "flock of mes" where people support each other. The goal is to agree on purpose, find solutions, test approaches, and evolve positive team dynamics.
