We dig into how the book is structured like a workbook, intentionally concise but rich with practices, diagnostics, and stories from leaders who’ve made the shift.

- The power of practices like “stress testing” and “candor breaks” in elevating team dynamics
- How the book is structured for flexibility and immediate application—like a toolkit, not a textbook
- Why teams should redefine who is on their “team” beyond the org chart
- The myth of efficiency and how true growth emerges through inclusive co-creation
- Why engineers—more than MBAs—are driving the future of how we collaborate

I hope this conversation sparks that shift for you, too.
