The costs to business of leaders and teams not working well together are both significant, invisible and avoidable.
The size of these costs boils down to how well we lead ourselves and each other.
Leadership is a set of skills that can be learned and practiced and a dojō is simply a place to learn and practice how we learn how to lead ourselves and each other better,

- have better conversations - ask better questions - create better connections with your peers and colleagues to solve your business problems
Every time you choose to do one or more of these things, one or more invisible costs within your business is cut and often cut significantly.

Asha, Paul - Something I've found hugely informative in understanding team structures and how teams interact in an ecosystem of teams is the book Team Topologies by Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais - it is geared towards the tech industry but has wider applications. It considers the cognitive load facing teams who have to deal with interfacing with many other teams in an ad-hoc way. Team Topologies describes clear team types with a clear primary purpose and also describes various interaction modes between teams (e.g. collaborating mode, as a service mode, and facilitating mode) - it's a human-centric approach to team design, a psycho-social approach.
I'm grateful for the your sharing of the GRACE framework. The focus on the journey as well as the accomplishment and the gentle holding of the paradox of caring-deeply while being able to adapt and let-go ❤
