1. (15-30 minutes) Write down 10 true statements about your creativity in your Creativity Notebook. These can be anything: ‘I feel the most creative when I’m dancing.’ ‘My desk needs to be messy/tidy for me to feel like I can be creative.’

2. EXTRA CREDIT: If you get even the slightest whiff of an 'aha!' moment, add a second layer sentence to your Noticing Wall (the back page of your Creativity Notebook). Noticing Wall Statements look like anything from, 'Huh, I never thought of it that way!' to 'Wow, I guess I really do need a messy desk to feel creative; I wonder why.'

An Empathy Walk develops your capacity to “hold space” for someone who is very different from you and establish a relationship across a significant boundary.

A manager is leaving? Take this opportunity to let the team select the new one.

Raise alerts to the team, to the manager, that the team (or some people in the team) is taking too much work - with the risk for their health, their balance. In this case stop and reflect, re-prioritize, assign tasks differently

This exercise will help develop 'systems intelligence' with a view to being able to influence people in the right direction and in the right way.
