Marking the task

Why are we here? Stating intentions, and naming a case where it worked...
(a) Share something that's has worked well in your team, that people might have described as "Very AMBIT!"
(b) This is hard to do... Share some observations of real practice which might have provoked the comment: "That's not very AMBIT!"

11.15 What does leading mean?

Debating the issue
Line-ups - exploring individual differences ...From "Whose side are you on?" to "Where do you stand on the continuum?":
Extreme Localism (wild heterogeneity) Vs. Rigid Centralism (brutal conformity)
Where is the balance to be found? Have we got it right or wrong yet?
The idea of individual and team competency. Is this useful?
What would be your "non-negotiables" in an AMBIT fidelity measure?
A self appraisal in pairs against the AMBIT Leads Job description
