Shield<br />

Build a shield or barrier to hide the obstacle so that it's effects no longer touch your team.<br />

If a team is distracted by noisy neighbours, put up a sound barrier. If a team is unable to see their<br />

computers due to late afternoon sunlight, put up window shades. If a manager is bothering the<br />

team with meetings or tasks unrelated to the work of the team, then put yourself between the team<br />

and the manager (or get someone in upper management to do that).<br />

Shielding is excellent for immediate relief, but remember that the obstacle is still there and may<br />

become a problem again if the shield cannot be maintained.<br />

Transform<br />

Change the structure or form of the obstacle so that it no longer affects effectiveness.<br />
