Positive Intelligence: Why Only 20% of Teams and Individuals Achieve Their True Potential AND HOW YOU CAN ACHIEVE YOURS

by Shirzad Chamine

To sustain the momentum of the team’s increased PQ beyond the retreat, I ask teams to add a short PQ report to their weekly team meetings. Each member includes a few bullet points regarding PQ development successes and failures in the previous week. This could include instances where their Saboteurs got in the way, or when they successfully employed their Sage powers and saved the day. Both success and failure stories add to every member’s learning and commitment to stay with the PQ practice. Remember that just as physical fitness is a matter of daily practice, so is PQ fitness. A PQ report built into the team’s weekly discussion ensures that the team’s increase in PQ is sustained long enough to lift its PQ score into the net-positive vortex. Once that happens, the team’s high PQ will be self-sustaining.
