Three areas to focus on: Common language : How we talk about our work internally and externally. (aka Branding). Habits & rituals : Surfacing & solving problems. Celebrating wins. Meetings. Check in. Etc. (aka Culture).  Tools : Finding the most efficient way to execute our work. (aka Technology & Infrastructure). By investing in any of these areas you will increase the understanding and capacity of your team. Better understanding leads to better relationships and better problem solving. Which leads to a healthier organization. Thank you Patrick Lencioni .
