How do we take the first steps to do this hard work?
Ask thought-provoking questions: Ask or bring up more questions than seeking answers.
Listen intently: Choose to Lead with Empathy and listen with a heart of understanding.
Show appreciation: Orchestrate moments for people to collaborate and show appreciation for others.
It is OK to admit that you do not have answers. In doing so, you create safety for others to share their ideas more openly with you as a leader.
An individual will never be able to address the hardest problems and Create Win/Win Solutions if they first are not courageous to uncover what they are so we can address them.
