Leaders: Learn how to manage your feelings at work.

Identify a place you’re feeling stuck. What would it look like to go for the win-win?

Eliciting a fear response inherently means you’re not getting the best from your team members.

Having the ability to use integrative thinking to operate with the big-picture win in mind takes a decent amount of emotional maturity.

You can’t prevent the changes, but you can give the team the foundational cohesion to process and integrate the changes.

Talking about complex issues is essential to navigating slowly toward a resolution.

Cultivating the discernment to know what to pay attention to when is a leadership achievement.

Here is one of the biggest obstacles for leaders trying to build shared ownership on their teams for greater engagement and collective intelligence.
