1. If culture is how we act, what is the most destructive behavior we tolerate? Why? 2. Do we believe better is possible? Is better necessary? 3. What and when do we celebrate? What does that say about us? 4. Where do we accept mediocrity, and where do we demand excellence? 5.

What is a statement we hear frequently when receiving feedback, but that we flat-out reject? 8. Where are we receiving late feedback (that is too late to be actionable)? Why was it delayed? 9. What obvious solutions do we dismiss? Why? 10. Are the right people talking? 11. Are our doors really open? Should they be? 12. Which voices should we be amplifying, but aren’t? 13. Change is often a battle of different change agendas. Who is battling to own/control how we change, and why? Are there overlaps? 14. Where are we seeing hints of a possible future?
