A fast, practical guide to building stronger teams by spotting what's missing, not just what's present.
For innovators, leaders, employees, and individuals committed to creating breakthrough results.
The people whose style clashes with yours usually hold exactly the perspective your team is missing. Most teams default to the same handful of voices and quietly leave the rest of the deck on the table. You're Not Playing with a Full Deck shows you how to turn that friction into your competitive edge: see what's missing, build a shared language, and put every "suit" to work.
