Standing firm on principles under pressure
Teams regularly face pressure to compromise their principles—including pressure on environmental and social responsibility commitments. Clarify in advance what principles the team will not compromise, including commitments regarding environmental responsibility, ethical conduct, and social impact. When principles are clear before pressure… An ongoing team scaffold (team practice), run when needed, not as a one-off session.
