Encouraging Mutual Support

I attended a networking event with a difference this morning. Paul Cornish of CW Concepts facilitated the meeting, where each individual was asked for one challenge they were currently facing. Other attendees then asked questions, gave suggestions and provided encouragement. I personally came away with some very useful and practicable ideas and so did many of the others, I'm sure.

How can we use this idea to make our teams more effective? The fact is that for any one person in your team with a problem, there are often at least two with potential answers. If you've created an atmosphere where people feel comfortable to speak up about challenges, it's an easy step to open each one to the whole group to provide suggestions and advice.

All the best,
