Problem Solving Is A Team Sport

The challenges businesses face today are too complex for individuals to solve alone. They require different perspectives, different expertise and new different thinking. ( note Dysfunction vs Difference – we believe in celebrating difference).

Which means problem solving has to be a team sport. But that only works when there’s psych safety (possibly the #1 factor in performance teams) and people feel safe to contribute, they share ideas which are explored, not shut down. HPTs tend to encourage debate, not avoid it, and you’ll tend to notice that decisions are made collectively, more quickly and owned

This is where many teams struggle, they may have the capability, but they lack the environment to use their problem solving capability for good.
