Manage your authority gradient to create effective teams

I recently teamed up with Nick Roder - an experienced Mobile Intensive Care Ambulance (MICA) paramedic (and my uncle) - to give a talk at Agile Australia where we explored what organisations can learn from paramedics about teamwork, collaboration and leadership. We shared how paramedics deal with their unique, complex environment, and how they create a collaborative culture that enables effective teams.

This is the final article in the series. It explores the concept of authority gradient and how managing it is vital to creating effective teams.
