The deck

80 behaviours. 16 themes. One conversation.

80 behaviour cards, 16 theme cards, and everything needed to run a full 90-minute session with a team. Reusable, indefinitely, across every team you have — and designed to be run again on new questions.

The deck, and the presentation box — 80 behaviours across 16 themes, two guides

Each card carries one behaviour, in plain language, with original artwork by Gapingvoid Culture Design Group.

No jargon, no scores, no personality types. Just a behaviour a team recognises instantly from their actual work — Tell it like it is, Avoid conflict at all costs, Make time for people, Never be wrong. The language is deliberately ordinary, because the whole point is that people argue about the behaviour, not the wording.

Why cards, and not a survey

A card is a physical object. It can be picked up, held, pointed at, and moved. When a team argues about where a card goes, they're arguing about something on the table between them rather than something inside one person's head. That small shift — from accusation to object — is what makes the honest conversation survivable.

It also means the team can see the whole picture at once. Not a bar chart of what a consultant found. The actual behaviours, laid out, sorted by them.

A look inside

Eight of the eighty.

A sample of the deck — enough to see the artwork and the language. We don't publish all 80 online, and deliberately so: the cards do their work when a team meets them for the first time, in the room, without having pre-formed a view. Click any card to enlarge.
