This team is stronger than they think, has the courage to have difficult conversations, and able to work through their tensions

Priorities

2024-01-31 15:07:07 UTC

At a year of transition, be more intentional to create the space to continue these difficult conversations and also to listen to each other and be patient with one another.

Key takeaway: Having deep and complex discussions on what we can do better as a team and look also for solutions together

2024-01-31 15:07:52 UTC

Priority: making sure that "undiscussables" do not become "in and out"

2024-01-31 15:08:05 UTC

Two things:

2024-01-31 15:08:09 UTC

We have a beautiful soul, let's be intentional of taking care of it.
Mentioning and navigating tensions allows us to work on our soul. Let's continue navigating this.

When organizations are strong it is time to work on things that need working and makes all the sense in the world.

2024-01-31 15:08:42 UTC

The team is strong, confident, ready, and committed to continue growing together- a "united force"

Priorities:

2024-01-31 15:08:49 UTC

Making sure working our soul and team is not and in and out, but instead become our status quo.

Key takeaway

2024-01-31 15:08:51 UTC

I thought it was going to be hard to share undiscussables but it turned out to be quite opposite.

Takeaway

2024-01-31 15:09:00 UTC

That as a team and organization we are fairly (humanly) comfortable engaging with the "undiscussables"

My key takeaway was around our desirable room-the fact that our desirable room should not be where there seem to be perfection but where we recognise things that needs working on or discussing.

My Takeaway

2024-01-31 15:09:09 UTC

It's best to seek for an organization's soul when it's at it strongest point and not when it's broken.

Key take-aways

2024-01-31 15:09:20 UTC

The team is in a good place and only needs to how to navigate the complexity of the work that we do.
Storming is normal. We are now norming :-)

This team can lisen and resolve any difficult conversation.

2024-01-31 15:09:24 UTC

Priorities

2024-01-31 15:09:43 UTC

To go deeper into some discussions that we didn't have the time to discuss or it wasn't the time to discuss as people need time to process
to review the workplan and implement it intentionally, create space as a team for that

Key takeaway

The 4 rooms as a continuous methodology to assess our Modus Operandi as a team/organization, but also as a toll for self-reflection; The team is in a good space to have these conversations.

Priorities for Phase 1

to break down why Prospera is a complex org and how to manage political risks

Priorities
