Long before I knew tools like Insights Discovery existed, a friend called me out:
“You can’t just give orders and expect people to follow.”
Give orders?
What did she mean?
Turned out, blunt directives weren’t for everyone.
I started noticing how often I steamrolled others, especially when they didn’t push back.
Once I recognised these instances, I had a choice.
Most team friction isn’t about the work.
It’s about HOW they work.
The fix isn’t more communication training or trust-falling into your colleagues’ waiting arms.
It’s giving people a mirror to see their blind spots and a common non-confrontative language to address them with each other.
My default is still “Decide fast, act immediately”. Great for me, but terrible for people who need space to think ⏸️.
Shrugging it off with “well, that’s just how I am” doesn’t cut it if you care about respect and collaboration.
At Skill Boxx, we run Insights Discovery workshops to create these “aha” moments at scale.
No fluff, no cosmic jargon.
Just practical tools to show teams how their unconscious habits accidentally sabotage collaboration and how to turn it around.
