Yes, And

Video: Tina Fey on Yes, And

Challenge: In the next 24 hours, use the words “yes, and” in a conversation. This can be with anyone, a spouse, kids, cashier, etc. Be sure to build on what the other person is saying (no yes, and fake outs!). How does it feel to do this? How does it affect the other person?

Challenge for Leaders: Admit a mistake at your next team meeting. What did you learn? How can a similar slip-up be prevented in the future? Demonstrate to your team that no one is perfect, and that it’s OK to talk about mistakes. By doing so, you’re helping to foster psychological safety.
