In this episode, Ken Baden and Rick Selby emphasize the involvement of team leads in decision-making processes. They mention that any necessary changes or issues are discussed collectively, with no separate communication or decision-making within specific teams or departments. This further reinforces the group's unity and inclusiveness.

In addition, Ken and Rick emphasize the importance of maintaining a high level of performance at all times. They mentioned that this concept was a key takeaway from a training session they attended. While individuals tend to perform their best when being observed by their boss, they question why this level of performance is not consistently maintained. Hence, they provided a mindset that can encourage consistent high performance, leading to positive changes in energy, performance, and overall well-being.
