The Frameworks We Cannot See
New: The Homegoing Practice: How to Develop Cultural Intelligence and Lead Across Difference Class, a new School of WorkLife Book Club online live class is now available.
It begins with something many people in professional life will recognise.
You’re leading a team — experienced, capable, technically strong.
And collaboration keeps breaking down in ways you can’t quite explain.
Someone questions a decision that feels obvious to you.
Someone else agrees in the meeting — and then implements something entirely different.
You’ve been treating it as a communication problem.
But something is making you wonder.
What if you’re not seeing the full picture?
That is where Andy’s story begins.
He’s a highly respected global software development manager — known for efficiency, technical clarity, and strong project delivery.
But collaboration keeps breaking down in ways he can’t resolve.
And he’s beginning to suspect he’s been solving the wrong problem.
The Homegoing Practice: How to Develop Cultural Intelligence and Lead Across Difference draws on Yaa Gyasi’s Homegoing and a nine-step framework built around the kinds of questions cultural intelligence and perspective-taking ask of us in working life. Not in major conflicts alone. In the everyday conversations, assumptions, and misunderstandings where the invisible frameworks people carry start to matter — and where learning to see them changes everything.
