Session 1: How we lead

Length: 45 to 60 minutes.
Format: short teach, real-work exercise, written output.

What we will teach

• Care plus standards.
• Trust plus accountability.
• Leadership as service to the work and people.
• What we will not allow this program to become.

Exercise

Ask each person to name one leadership behavior they trust, and one they do not trust. Write them on a board or shared doc.

Discuss as a group.

Output

By the end of the session, the team agrees on the core leadership rules that apply at Aspiriq. Write them down. Share them.

Facilitator notes

• Keep the conversation grounded in real work, not abstract theory.
• Do not let the discussion become about specific people. Focus on behaviors and patterns.
• This first session sets the tone for the next five. Keep it short and honest.
