A cap with the wisdom of a Learning Team in every fiber - Item No. 567-45

Imagine a unisex, low-profile cap, made from 100% chino cotton twill—durable yet comfortable, like the fabric of understanding that weaves people and processes together. This is no ordinary cap. No, it carries with it the wisdom of *Learning Teams*, a story embroidered into every fiber.

Six embroidered eyelets sit atop this cap, each a silent witness to the complexity of work, just as each member of a Learning Team witnesses the unique events that shape their everyday tasks. The adjustable strap, clasped with an antique buckle, mirrors the flexibility and adaptability of these teams. Like the buckle, Learning Teams adjust to fit the situation at hand, tightening where needed and loosening when circumstances allow.

But what truly sets this cap apart are the stories it tells.

Embroidered in fine detail are the five principles of Learning Teams, each unfolding like chapters of a well-lived experience. Across the front, the first principle: **Understanding Work as Imagined and Work as Done**. It’s about acknowledging that the way work is planned rarely mirrors the way it actually happens. This principle gently reminds you that risk is born from these gaps, and learning begins when we understand both.

On the left side panel, the second principle shines: **Groups Outperform Individuals in Problem-Solving**. Just as this cap sits snug on your head, so too does the idea that collaboration—teamwork—always brings a richer perspective. You feel the weight of collective wisdom with every wear.

As you turn the cap, the third principle emerges: **Workers Have the Best Knowledge of the Problem**. It’s embroidered with quiet confidence, a reminder that those closest to the work know its intricacies best. You can almost hear their voices, stitched into the seams, telling their version of the story, each as important as the last.

Then, across the back of the cap, the fourth principle: **The More Effort Put into Understanding, the Better the Solution**. Like the adjustable strap that fits just right, the more time and thought invested in truly grasping the problem, the more aligned and effective the solution. It’s the kind of wisdom that makes you want to slow down and listen—really listen.

And finally, tucked under the brim, visible only when you lift it up to wear: **Reflection Drives Learning and Improvement**. Like a secret known only to you, this principle encourages "soak time." It’s not about rushing to conclusions, but about letting the team’s collective insights settle, much like the antique buckle ages gracefully with time.

This cap isn’t just something to wear—it’s a philosophy in motion. With each stitch, it tells a story of how people work, learn, and grow together. It’s a Learning Team in fabric form, and when you wear it, you carry these principles with you, effortlessly.
