3. Have a Zoom with someone you don't interact with and ask what you can do to make their life easier.

4. Eliminate ambiguous "culture" references and define core values.

5. Tell the team about a time you screwed up or made a mistake.

6. Ask a top performer if there's a course or program they'd like to take and buy it.
