One thing you could do this week to reduce friction and increase flow:

• Individual’s Tip: Invest in one work relationship. Have coffee, ask about their challenges, offer support. Relationships are the foundation of teamwork.
• Team Leader Tip: Create rituals for each stage: fun kickoffs to start, weekly check-ins to maintain, proper celebrations when you succeed together.
• Executive Leader: Map team journeys visually – show how teams evolve from awkward beginnings to high performance. Normalize the messy middle.
