Mastering Cross-Organizational Teamwork
summary
A practical survival guide for working with clients that lists four repeatable steps — understand needs, align, practice, reflect — and three core ingredients: self-care, autonomy, recognition. Uses a one-minute breathing exercise for resets, Lean Service Creation tools (notably the business objective and context canvas) for kickoffs, and daily rituals to shift behavior. Cites hard numbers: 56% of creatives report mild–severe depression vs 36% national, 96% value empathy, and a case where it takes 15 months to get access to a live implementation.
