Do you collaborate well?
4. Can you collaborate in adversity?
5. Are you over-managing?
Disagreements happen early, not passive-aggressively
People challenge ideas without defending ego
There’s laughter in the hard moments, not silence
Signal: “The room’s honest, not hostile.”
Status updates are lightweight or asynchronous
The work shows the progress — no one needs to prove they’re working
Managers coach or unblock, not direct
Signal: “We lead the work, not the people doing the work.”
6. Are people achieving productive flow?
People aren’t burned out — they’re activated
The team has high tempo but low panic
You can feel the presence of trust + rhythm replacing oversight
Signal: “We’re moving fast — but nothing’s falling apart.”
1. Does time feel well-spent?
Meetings are short, sharp, and purposeful
Decisions get made in real time, not deferred
Follow-ups aren’t needed because people actually heard each other
Signal: "We’re not wasting time aligning — we’re moving."
2. Everyone knows the point?
There’s shared clarity around what matters
People ask, “How does this move the work forward?”
Work conversations feel tethered to outcomes, not theater
Signal: “Nobody’s confused about the goal or what we’re solving.”
3. Are your handoffs clean?
Tasks don’t fall through the cracks
People finish each other’s sentences — or their subtasks
There’s a rhythm to the flow; few dropped balls, few do-overs
Signal: “Work moves fluidly across roles without resets or rework.”
Proven Methods
Collaborative Workstream Pods are the best way for modern teams to work together.

Built for collaboration at speed. Tested across 170+ organizations.
“Most consultants don’t honor how costly costly change can be, not to them, but to you and your organization.
My mindset, honed by my years at RAND, is to fix what’s actually broken — nothing more. Small shifts often solve big problems.
My work is grounded in the research of structural change — improving how people operate, communicate, and deliver together. I’ll teach you its principles and you’ll gain a new lens, a shared language, and a mindset to lead with.”
— Jack Skeels, former RAND researcher, CEO of Better Company, and award-winning author of UNMANAGED
