3. 1
Increase
Self-
Awareness
Our mindsets and emotions distort
how we see ourselves and our
colleagues. Self-awareness helps
turn blindspots into bright spots.
Self-aware teams make better
decisions, are more collaborative,
and manage conflict more
effectively.

4. 2
Make Implicit
Tensions
Explicit
Avoidance doesn’t make issues
walk away. Making silent problems
explicit is key to unblock
collaboration.
Healthy conflict management
helps teams grow. Addressing
tensions moves people from blame
to accountability.

5. 3
Create a
Safe Space for
Experimentation
Psychological Safety can make
or break a team. People want to
feel safe to experiment.
By removing the fear of
judgment or punishment,
people open up and take more
risks.

6. 4
Increase
Collaboration
through Open
Conversations
Dialogue is fuel for innovation–
people want to co-design the
future of their organization.
Ongoing feedback, candid
conversations, brainstorming,
and stimulating questions boost
engagement and participation.

7. 5
Turn Your Team
into Change
Agents
Change can start anywhere.
Turn your team into agents o
change—anyone can bring new
ideas and solutions to the table.
Unleash the change gene
within your team. Everyone has
the ability and responsibility to
lead.

8. 6
Experiment
with New
Ways of
Working
To thrive in a fast-paced world,
organizations need to upgrade their
operating system. This requires simplifying,
accelerating, and decentralizing problem-
solving and decision-making.
Teams must experiment and design new
ways of working—to try new methods and
processes, and see what sticks.

9. 7
Solve
Meaningful
Problems
Most companies operate in fire-
fighting mode—they are always
busy taking care of urgencies
instead of solving problems that
matter.
We develop diversity of thinking
to challenge groupthink and
address the root cause, not the
symptom.
