THE COLOURFUL TEAM
Reconnect * Reflect * Create
Bringing connection and meaning back to Teamwork
A book for teams that work well – but could work better together.
Teams today are skilled, busy, and well-intentioned.
Yet connection fades. Tensions go unspoken. Reflection gets crowded out by speed.
THE COLOURFUL TEAM offers a gentle, practical alternative.
Using the metaphor of a paint box and seven colours, this book helps teams:
- Reconnect beyond roles
- Reflect without blame. Notice patterns that shape behaviour
- Create with intention, not urgency
It blends story, reflection and light art-based activities – not as a program, but as a pause.
This is not a training manual. It is a shared experience teams can return to – individually or together.
Restoring connection and shared meaning in everyday Teamwork.
Do you want to Reconnect with your Team beyond roles?
Why did I write this book?
I wrote The Colourful Team because I have seen that many capable teams struggle not with skill or commitment, but with fading connection.
In fast-moving workplaces, reflection gets crowded out, conversations become transactional and people show up as roles rather than as individuals.
Instead of adding another framework or performance model, I wanted to offer something gentler – a way for teams to pause, notice one another beyond titles and rediscover shared meaning in their everyday work.
Who should read this book?
- Teams that work well – but sense they could work better together
- Managers and team leads who want deeper collaboration without more process
- HR and L&D leaders seeking thoughtful, non-intrusive ways to strengthen Teamwork
- Project, transformation, or cross-functional teams navigating complexity
- Professionals who value reflection, story and human insight over prescriptive models
Unique Aspects of the book
- Uses a simple metaphor – a paint box and seven Colours – to explore teamwork
- Blends story, reflection and light art-based prompts (no artistic skill required)
- Not a training manual, toolkit or personality framework
- Designed for both individual reflection and shared team use
- Calm, non-judgmental tone that encourages noticing rather than fixing
Key Highlights of the book
A memorable story that brings team dynamics to life
Three-part structure: Reconnect • Reflect • Create
Gentle visual prompts and standalone reflection pages
Practical yet pressure-free activities for real teams
A format that teams can return to whenever connection feels thin
At its heart, The Colourful Team reminds readers that when people feel seen, heard, and valued, teamwork naturally becomes stronger – and more meaningful.

Happy Testimonials
Creativity as nation-building leadership: ___
Having closely followed Rohit’s journey as an author and leader, his
book “Unlocking Creative Leadership” speaks directly to India’s next
phase of institution-building. In a media-, platform- and technology-driven
economy marked by rapid scale and disruption, this book positions
creativity as a strategic leadership capability - not a soft idea. It offers
founders and enterprise leaders a practical lens to build relevance, resilience
and future-ready organizations at scale.
From Creativity to Execution: ___
Over the last couple of decades building and operationalizing teams,
I’ve seen how creativity is often misunderstood as abstract or optional in
leadership. Having experienced Rohit’s art-based creative problem-solving
first-hand, what stands out in “Unlocking Creative Leadership” is how
he makes creativity practical and actionable for leaders navigating change.
The frameworks translate creativity into behaviours and leadership roles
that support execution.
When Playbooks fall short: ___
In technology-driven environments where precision, speed and resilience
matter, leadership cannot rely on logic alone. Creativity is what enables
leaders to see options others miss and respond when playbooks fall short.
Having seen Rohit’s evolution as an author and practitioner, “Unlocking
Creative Leadership” captures this balance well - showing how
imagination strengthens decision-making, empowers teams and enhances
execution in complex, high-stakes organizations.
Where Creativity finds its Voice: ___
With his fourth book, “Unlocking Creative Leadership”, Rohit
Chowdhry continues the trajectory he began with “How to get
into your Goldilocks Zone”. This book is a guide to finding
the sweet spot where creativity meets leadership to forge a new
creatively empowered environment and ecosystem. Drawing from
lived experience, Rohit shows how creativity can be consciously
cultivated to shape culture, decision-making and leadership impact.
Curiosity as the Starting Point of Creative Leadership: ___
Rohit’s reflections on creative leadership remind us that curiosity is where
all creativity begins — a quiet willingness to wonder, to notice, and to
explore what might be possible. In a world that often values answers, this
book celebrates the beautiful power of questions.
Creative Leadership for the AI Era: ___
AI is reshaping how we work and redefining professional roles today.
“Unlocking Creative Leadership” reframes creativity as a core leadership
capability for the age of AI. It offers a powerful lens on how curiosity and
creativity can be deliberately cultivated at work. By complementing AI
with these distinctly human capabilities, leaders can envision futures that
do not yet exist in algorithms.
This book is a timely guide for leaders seeking to activate creativity
in themselves and intentionally embed it across their teams and
organizations. In an AI-driven world, a leader’s role is no longer limited
to automation or process improvement; it is to unlock new possibilities,
enable meaningful decisions, and build true future readiness.
Creative Leadership for Inclusive Growth: ___
Having worked closely with Rohit through leadership workshops
based on his earlier books, I’ve seen first-hand how his ideas translate
into impact. “Unlocking Creative Leadership” extends that strength -
showing how creativity, purpose and disciplined execution can coexist. It
is a timely guide for leaders building inclusive, resilient organizations in
an increasingly complex world.
Leading Differently at Scale: ___
In a world shaped by platforms, scale and relentless change, “Unlocking
Creative Leadership” offers a refreshing and practical way for leaders
to think, build and lead differently. Having known Rohit for several
years and having seen his journey of sharing knowledge through his
earlier books, I’ve witnessed how deeply his creative instincts inform his
leadership thinking. This book brings that blend of imagination, clarity
and execution together in a way that is both relevant and timely for
today’s leaders.
