DEVELOPMENT AXIS
ACTIONS AND KEY QUESTIONS
Reflexes (Immediate actions)
• Assume positive intent: Start from the belief that your team members are competent, trustworthy, and acting with good intentions. This mindset fosters a climate of psychological safety and empowers individuals to take ownership and contribute their best work • If I am about to make a decision, then I consciously ask: “What perspective am I missing?” • If I notice someone is silent in a meeting, then I actively invite them to share their point of view • If an idea is shared, then I make sure to understand it before criticizing it
Practices (Habits to cultivate)
• Conduct “listening tours” focused on understanding experiences of different groups • Implement structured meeting formats (round-robin) ensuring everyone speaks • Review hiring and promotion processes to identify and mitigate unconscious biases • What are my current blind spots as a leader? • How does my identity (origin, gender, race, class) shape my perspective? • Where do I need “translators” to operationalize my vision?
Self-assessment (Questions for reflection)
