They have been carefully tailored to help Mercy Corps managers lead their teams successfully through the People with Possibility sessions without being experts on the material.

Introduction
Introduction
Key to our culture are tenets of innovation and agility, collaboration and curiosity. At Mercy Corps, ‘our strategy is our compass, not our map’, so leaders and managers are charged with setting direction, and empowering teams to chart their own path to reach it.
By demonstrating to teams how to embody our culture through four simple practices, our managers will ensure culture runs through the veins of the agency. When all our teams “are not only open to new and better ways of doing things, [but] insist on seeking them out” we will deliver increased impact, greater innovation and powerful influence.
Our theory of change is that: If team members show they care deeply, build trust, and have more self-awareness through using the four practices, then teams will speak up, challenge each other, and have a more inclusive, innovative, and productive work environment.
