Finding Humanity in Teams | Bennett Bratt | True Snacks

“One of the things we do in teams is reclaim our humanity.”

In this True Snack episode, Ben shares his strong belief in the power of teams as a place to reclaim our humanity or actively deny it. Ben is a self-proclaimed Team Geek, and you are about to learn why this is well-earned moniker.

Ben also shares a framework for helping teams make the invisible visible called SNOW:
1. See it / Sense it - Acknowledge the thing (e.g., opportunity, problem, elephant in the room)
2. Name it - Put words to the impact or risk the thing represents
3. Own it - Take accountability for your own contribution or actions
4. Work it - Take action

Bennett (Ben) Bratt helps leaders and their teams create the transformative, inclusive, and enduring changes in their team effectiveness that fuel their most deeply desired outcomes. He’s the author of “The Team Discovered” and he’d love to hear the story of your team.
