This is such a powerful framework, Cate! The reality of 'vertical code-switching' is something so many middle managers experience daily, yet rarely have the vocabulary for.
I especially love your point about Saboteurs being old protective reflexes that eventually become expensive bottlenecks. Recognizing that our internal mindset directly impacts team dynamics and clarity is a huge game-changer.
Thank you for sharing these grounding insights and practical PQ exercises!
Thanks! The framework is not my own; it comes from research I've read on positive psychology and from the work of Shirzad Chamine (Positive Intelligence). I have been fascinated by how it can be applied to managers and used to improve team culture.
Even the best frameworks need thoughtful translation to actually work in practice. The way you contextualize Positive Intelligence for middle management makes it so actionable. Great conversation! ✨
