How to Apply?
Every process situation tetra-arise in all 4 quadrants
All 4 quadrants should be taken care of to reach the sustainable state
The misbalance in quadrants lead to rollback:
- No behaviors => The practices become inefficient or abandoned
- No healthy relationships => No team, the efficiency of work cannot grow
- Inability to take the best of the environment and to change the environment =>
Inability to efficiently operate under the given circumstances

Phase 1: Assessment
Interview the team members to assess their code of
behavior and relationships. Mind not what they say,
but how they say, what words do they use.
Setup the retrospective-like workshop to help the
team to meet their relationships, communication
styles. Tools:

team-diagnostic/
As a part of workshop use SWOT-like exercise to
assess the ability of the team to take the best of the
environment and influence it
