  • Bear’s protective instinct safeguards Penguin’s need for a supportive environment, reducing stress.

  • Use written summaries after decisions so the Bear can process and the Penguin can share feedback with the wider team.
  • Encourage the Penguin to voice concerns early, and give the Bear space to respond without pressure.
  • Schedule regular one‑on‑one syncs to address any emerging friction before it escalates.
