  1. Supporting others ideas
  • YES AND  - Don't judge!
    • Support and build on others’ ideas.
    • This doesn’t mean always accepting others opinions without debating.
    • Acknowledge others opinions, be an active listener and engage.
  • Approach decisions with confidence: there are no mistakes, only choices you make.
  • Use others and brainstorm - sometimes the solutions are right there within the reach of your team.
  1. Focus on:
  • Managing board meetings in a positive and productive manner even if there are disagreements
  • Encouraging team members to speak up and raise creative ideas
