How to implement collective success and team cohesion processes What is the definition of Theory U? It is “understanding things not through numbers, but also with your heart and by connecting to the reality of the other.” This theory models how employees connect to themselves, to a deep intention, and communicate it to a group so that it connects to it too. How to apply theory U in concrete terms? 1/ Start with real listening, this can be done through empathic walking. This second level of reading, more subtle, more objective, in full awareness allows us to understand from the point of view and the real perception of the other. 2/ Open up to the intelligence of the heart. An example of societal commitment with an association that fights against exclusion, and which has chosen to have its beneficiaries participate in the Vendée Globe. Here, no direct economic or performance result but a formative experience. 3/ Take inspiration from inspiring stories, or immerse yourself in the reality of another. This is the case when you visit other companies... Why and how to pay attention to others when you have several interlocutors in a team? Answer in this episode! How to move from theory U to practice?
