This document discusses effective collaboration in security. It emphasizes understanding colleagues' behaviors and communication styles using tools like DiSC. It also discusses how to influence choices through nudges by structuring options, using defaults, feedback and simplifying complex decisions. The goal is to improve collaboration by triggering intuitive thinking and engaging more reflective thinking. Resources on behavioral economics, decision architecture and cognitive biases are also provided.
37. In a lake, there is a patch of lily pads.
