Learning objectives :

• Create an environment where everyone feels empowered to share not only their ideas but also their doubts
• Encourage your teams to take the initiative 
• Highlight the value of learning by discussing successes and failures as opportunities for improvement

Course :

Module 1: Creating a Safe Space
Managers with extensive expertise tend to speak too soon or too loudly, which shuts down the discussion before it has really begun. This module addresses the habits that either create or, conversely, hinder a safe space for dialogue—whether in one-on-one settings or in meetings.

Case Study : Identify your own habits that cut off the discussion (responding too quickly, agreeing too soon, failing to follow up) and practice phrases that create a space where team members feel truly safe to offer a different opinion.

Session 2: Encouraging Initiative
A proactive team needs a framework for action. Participants learn to define a clear playing field: the context, the vision for success, the call to action, the constraints, and the operating procedures. They also discover several ways to foster inspiration and challenge ideas before getting started.

Case Study : Defining the scope of a project or an area for improvement using the Radar Chart, the Impact/Effort Matrix, and the 3+3 Plan, which links a three-week objective to three-month decision criteria.

Segment 3: Moving from Failure to Continuous Learning‍

Mistakes and challenges become valuable when they are analyzed without punishment. This module helps managers communicate constructively, recognize work well done, and share concrete lessons learned. It also offers simple rituals to embed this approach into the team’s daily routine.

Case Study Example : Prepare a project review or a presentation following a failure, then use a DAKI or Continue/Start/Stop retrospective to identify what to stop, start, keep, or improve.
