“Life is too short to spend time in an organization where you don't have trust.” Today, Johnny (@johnnypage13) and Matt (@mattverlaque) share their experiences from annual and quarterly planning sessions, emphasizing the need for constructive discussions rather than arguing to be 'right'. They discuss concepts like 'positive intent', 'Assume Positive Intent (API)', and how to comfortably get ideas challenged. They also offer valuable tips to facilitate such an environment and share the significance of relationship-building within a team to foster trust and improve decisions.
