The Core Protocols

What if you could take the practices of these exceptional teams – the best of the best, teams that consistently delivered great products, spread the most happiness, and were the most effective at creating new opportunities – what if you could take what they know about Shared Vision and other things, and teach it to others? And what if these best practices were available for free, for anyone to use and improve on?

These practices are the Core Protocols. Use the links below or to the left to view them.

What the Practices Do

The Core Protocols are a set of practices that enable people and teams to

  • learn results-oriented behaviors,
  • enter a state of shared vision and stay there,
  • trust each other,
  • stay rational and healthy,
  • make decisions effectively, and
  • keep moving toward the team’s goals.

In this state, teams can be very effective. Teams with these practices innovate, create, and get things done.

The Core Protocols are a set of commitments and protocols that, when practiced, enable a team to enter a state of shared vision and deliver exceptional results in a sustainable way.
