- Blue mode: Add the name of each team member next to the anchor you most associate them with.
- Green mode: Add each team member's name next to the anchor they value most when trusting others.
- Click an anchor label to circle the one that matters most to you personally.
Evaluate a Recent Team Meeting
Think about a recent team meeting. How psychologically safe and intellectually honest was the discussion?
Psychological Safety
How much space was there for people to speak openly, take risks, or admit mistakes?
Intellectual Honesty
How directly were tough issues surfaced and addressed?
Debrief prompts
• Which dimension is your team stronger on?
• What's a signal you use to sense when safety drops?
• Compare your "one small change" with a peer — what patterns emerge?
Mini Cases — Plot & Discuss
Drag each case onto the grid where you think the team is operating. Then plan your move as the TeamLEAD.
The Silent Meeting
A couple of members raise concerns openly, but several stay silent. Afterward you hear they had strong reservations but didn't feel safe voicing them.
The Blunt Email
A senior engineer emails the whole team naming flaws and the individuals responsible. The concerns are valid — but several members feel humiliated and withdraw.
Innovative Teams
Drag pin A (Silent Meeting) and pin B (Blunt Email) to where you think the team falls. The coral-bordered quadrant is where we want to land.
Case A — As TeamLEAD, what would you do?
Case B — As TeamLEAD, what would you do?
Debrief prompts
• Did the group cluster in the same quadrant, or was there a split?
• What's the one move that would shift each team one quadrant toward Inclusive / Innovative?
• Which case felt harder to respond to — and why?
