Collaboration

How to Steer Clear of Groupthink (via HBR)

  • “Unfortunately, research shows that consensus-based problem-solving groups are often where innovative ideas go to die. These groups are highly prone to groupthink – quick agreement around status quo solutions with little discussion or deliberation.”
  • Instead… (1) challenge the status quo, (2) adopt some placeholder solution that’s good on principles even if you disagree on the details, (3) celebrate progress toward a final agreement.

Culture

Rethinking Your Approach to the Employee Experience (via HBR)

  • Throwing competitive perks at people is outdated. People are assessing how they feel.
  • Connect with people’s lives outside of work
  • Empower people to have autonomy
  • Promote personal growth
  • Instilling shared purpose
  • Provide holistic well-being offerings and help people use them

Leadership

3 Practices That Set Resilient Teams Apart (via HBR)

  2. Resilient teams build caring, supportive relationships with each other.
  3. Resilient teams feel a collective responsibility to lift each other’s energy and well-being.
