Definition: A guide to the conditions that spark flow at the team level, such as shared goals, rich communication, and balanced risk.
Explanation: Flow is not just individual, it can be collective. Teams in flow perform better, bond more deeply, and are more creative.
Example: A restaurant team works much better when they are just slightly in the weeds, when in flow, they use less language, more visual ques, and access each other’s thoughts and intentions at a higher level.
How to Use This Tool: Use it to reflect on and intentionally design your team environment. Ask: “Which of these conditions do we have—and which do we need more of?”
