A team I was working with last week came up with four key ground rules for their team building session. As their facilitator, I was impressed at how the four keys matched up with the Insights Discovery model. The keys were:
Say What You Think
They all agreed that it was important that if someone had an idea, or an issue, they should raise it and not bottle it up.
Watch What Happens
We all tend to live a lot of our lives on "autopilot". To get the most from teambuilding we have to raise our awareness of ourselves and others and what is happening.
Support Each Other
This is the caveat to "Say What You Think"! Disagreements can be expressed in a constructive way; don't let things get personal.
Have Fun
Some people had come to the session straight from an overnight shift, with just a packet of biscuits for breakfast! Their ability to dive in and be as enthusiastic as everyone else really impressed me.
How you you use these four keys to make sure you get the most out of working with others this week?
All the best,
