Focus on Achieving
Collective Results

The ultimate goal is the achievement of results, which is unlocked through implementing the model’s principles of Trust, Conflict, Commitment, and Accountability.

Hold One Another
Accountable

Once everyone is committed to a clear plan of action, they will be more willing to hold one another accountable.

Commit to Decisions

When team members are able to offer opinions and debate ideas, they feel heard and respected, and will be more likely to commit to decisions.

Engage in Conflict around Ideas

With trust, team members are able to engage in unfiltered, constructive debate of ideas.

Trust One Another

When team members are genuinely transparent and honest with one another, it forms a safe environment that creates and builds vulnerability-based trust.
