Barriers, Risks, Issues, Questions (BRIQ) - until you know exactly what to do with them, get them on paper somewhere - a kind of parking lot!

Meetings are great opportunities for team members to build upon each others’ ideas. Meetings are critical for alignment. Know every trait of a good meeting in order to maximize them.

A highly competitive world leads to being self-absorbed and self-conscious. Hyper-competition undermines teamwork and collaboration. Improv practices help you commit to collaboration and co-creation. Join the world of “Yes, And.”

In a fast-moving world, you need a simple framework for weekly reflection. Your colleagues don’t have to finish and share every sentence every week, but everyone must be thoughtful of these every week. Own your praise. Own your critique. Own your silence.

A culture of reflection, honesty, and humility leads to healthy organizational improvements. Asking the two questions, “What did we do well?” and “What could we improve?” is lazy. These breed mediocrity and fail to bring out people’s best ideas. There is a pattern in the problems. Micro-mentor yourself monthly using constructive language. Make your success inevitable.
