Bring Good Vibes

We support and celebrate each other, staying positive even in challenging times.

Back to the universal principles

Under, just right, over.

SituationUnderJust RightOver
A bad weekGoes dark, or snaps, and leaves the team to guess how bad it is.Names the hard part, stays decent to people, and points at the next useful step.Insists everyone act upbeat and treats a worried question as bad attitude.
Celebrating a real winMoves straight to the next problem and the win disappears.Names who did it and what was hard, briefly, then gets back to work.Celebrates so long that the unfinished work becomes someone else's emergency.
Support for someone strugglingLeaves them alone because you do not want to make it awkward.Offers a specific help, takes a piece if you can, and still expects the work to get done.Takes the work away permanently and calls that support.
Staying positive about a missPretends the miss did not happen so the mood stays light.Says the miss plainly and keeps the tone one a person can work in.Dwells on the miss until the room cannot function.
Credit in the roomLets the win pass with no names, so people feel invisible.Gives the credit where the work happened, in front of the team.Performs gratitude that praises everyone and informs no one.
Positivity that hides the problemUses optimism to avoid saying the project is off track.Stays constructive and still puts the risk on the table the day you know it.Polices tone so carefully that bad news arrives late.
