Lead without Blame
BUILDING RESILIENT LEARNING TEAMS

contribution by Gilmara Vila Nova-Mitchell
Workplace finger-pointing stifles creativity, reduces productivity, and limits psychological safety.
Although no one sets out to be judgmental, learning new habits is hard. In Lead without Blame, two experienced leaders, agilists and coaches share a road-tested leadership model that continuously embraces humility and failure as part of the growth process to deliver results.
By facilitating blame-free retrospective meetings, leaders chart a productive path forward. They amplify three essential motivators of purpose, autonomy, and co-intelligence within their team. Layered on with four resilience factors: inclusive collaboration, transparent power dynamics, collaborative learning, and embracing conflict.
After applying these strategies, learning leaders will help their teams and themselves become more resilient and better equipped to handle any unexpected and challenging tasks that comes their way.
Lead without Blame will show you how to move past outdated workplace blame and shame strategies to cultivate resilient teams capable of facing adversity and setbacks confidently.
