When I interviewed Troy Campbell, behavioral psychologist and professor, for my forthcoming Superpowers podcast, we talked a lot about team dynamics. One of the frameworks he suggested for team cohesion was ACE: Acknowledge, Connect, Explore. The basic idea is what you’d expect: great teams take time to acknowledge and appreciate the unique contributions of their members, make meaningful connections around those contributions, and explore further areas a team member might excel in. This model has several positive effects--building confidence and spurring teamwork, certainly. But one of the second-tier benefits is that it creates a “flat culture.”
