Sharing vulnerability is important within organizations, especially for those in positions of power. It creates a safe environment where everyone can openly discuss their weaknesses and mistakes. This promotes growth and collaboration. There are three critical moments in group formation: the first five minutes, the first disagreement, and the first moment of learning. Managing these moments by emphasizing safety, constructive conflict, and learning contributes to the success of the group. Teams should also practice pausing and reflecting on what has happened to ensure they stay connected and improve their communication. Additionally, implementing a practice called 'teach me how to treat you' encourages individuals to express their preferences for how they want to be treated in different situations, fostering understanding and collaboration.
