What superpower would you most like to have?Ĥ. If your home was on fire and you could save just one personal possession, what would it be?ģ. Here are 15 sample questions to get you started. Be sensitive to cultural and gender assumptions as you create your questions. You’ll also need a fine-tip Sharpie pen to write an interesting question on each block. So, if you would like to create your own version of Truth and Jenga, buy a set at your local toy store. Sharing personal information with receptive listeners increases psychological safety, an essential condition that helps people feel like they belong and can trust each another. We know from neuroscience that laughter triggers the release of endorphins which are the brain chemical associated with social bonds.
The only instruction I gave was, “Be curious.” * Team members got to practice their listening skills in an informal setting, acknowledging what they’d heard and asking follow up questions. In other words, the questions launched a deeper inquiry about one another. * Team members’ answers to simple questions often led to conversations about values, and personal identity. Here’s what I noticed during the course of what the team came to call the “Truth and Jenga” game: It’s a game of escalating risk and calculated choices! In the spirit of playful familiarity, I thought to myself, what would happen if, after removing a block successfully you had to answer a question written on the block? Take 60 rectangular wooden blocks, stack them into a tower, and then take turns removing one block at a time without causing the tower to collapse. Jenga is just about the simplest game you can imagine. When people feel seen and understood, and have fun together, work becomes a more human place.

The complex pattern of modules and penetrations required significant coordination through design, fabrication, and installation.ĥ6 Leonard provides a unique living experience to each of its residents with transparent interiors and exteriors. The window unit modules range from 10♄˝ to 14♆˝ tall and between 3´ to 5´ wide, including a large number of operable vents and sliding doors. The building envelope is made up of insulated glass, stainless steel and aluminum window wall occurring between the concrete floor slabs. Floor slabs are exposed and become more apparent as the tower rises. Balconies and private terraces are strategically placed and projected creating a staggering effect between units. Each penthouse has over 200´ of continuous window walls and boasts 11´ to 14´ ceilings to provide residents with an uninterrupted view of the cityscape. Units range in size from 1,430 square feet to 6,380 square feet and include two to five-bedroom residences and ten penthouses that are accessed through a private elevator. The base of the tower features an original two-story Anish Kapoor sculpture.Įach floor has a unique floor plan along with a private outdoor space. Standing at 821´ tall and featuring 145 units this “Jenga-like” tower has offset irregular intervals between floors to give the illusion of stacked boxes. The tower was designed by internationally renowned architects Herzog & de Meuron of Switzerland and will be their first skyscraper. 56 Leonard is one of the newest additions to the intersection of Church Street and Leonard Street in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood.
