"We advance in our ability to deal with complexity through cooperation." — Jon Berghoff

In this episode, Nozomi and Jon discuss:

• Having a symphony of strengths in your organization and team.
• Unlocking collective expertise.
• Psychological safety and equal contribution.
• What invites a human system to be at its best.

Key Takeaways:

• Being a leader does not mean having all the answers, it is about asking the right questions.
• As a leader, be open to being helped. Ask, directly, how you can do something better. Ask for what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.
• When people speak up, it is a risk. Appreciate that risk and acknowledge what they said, even if you don’t agree with it.
• Ask the questions that invite others to connect to a deeper sense of meaning or purpose.

"We have to remember that not everybody has the same hurdle for safety, and we might not know everything that is causing somebody to feel unsafe." — Jon Berghoff

"I want each of you to know that there are different ways of leadership; there are different ways people see the world." — Nozomi Morgan
