DIY team intereaction rules

Formulate team interaction rules: 

From time to time, the leader can formulate some interaction rules for the group or team. The team leader does not have to come with all the rules - fully formulated and laminated - just ready to hang on the wall.


A list of 'sensible' interaction rules' can be a good starting point. The list can be used to check off. Which of these rules do we want here with us? When will they come into force. And what will happen if you do not comply with them?

Explain that conversations about the group's way of working together can become emotional. Therefore, it is vitally important that everyone dares to say what they think and dare to mean what they say. Everyone must be safe when the collaboration is easy and unproblematic, as well as when it all becomes difficult and challenging.

For example, when the team has to find new solutions, it can be difficult to talk together properly. Everyone must be aware of the good tone, many bad and useless ideas, new and dangerous ideas. The team must be able to accommodate everything and be able to return to the tasks and work afterwards.

It is always expedient to formulate some rules of order or interaction rules together and then uphold each other's rules.

Here are some rules you can include in your suggestion list:

One person speaks at a time.
Speak for yourself: Start with I …
Do not attack others personally.
Criticize ideas, not people.
Feel free to agree to disagree.
Listen: Make sure everyone feels heard and acknowledged.
Be positive and non-judgmental.
Be open to new ideas.
End the meetings with a round of recognition.

Commit to your purpose with FISH!

12 fishmongers and their leader became the start of a global cultural revolution:  FISH! films, books, posters, soft toy and team exercises have been a source of inspiration in many, many companies worldwide. The iconic fish shop World Famous Pike Place Fish has been an inspiration ever since the first fish was thrown in 1965. The 12 fishmongers just sat down in the back room and talked about how they could become world famous. World fame does not come by itself. It must be created every single day. Therefore they continued to meet out in the back room and talk about business for half the meeting time and about their manner of doing what they did for the other half of the meeting time. Every second Thursday. All year. A relatively simple recipe. But even though it sounds simple, there are not many who have succeeded in doing what the fishmongers did. FISH! is an  invitation  to re-awaken the self-trusting, creative spirit within each of us. FISH!  inspires  ...

Find your own will and the will of your team

I can't find my will - where did I put it?: The headline puts the matter a bit on the edge. The will is not a gland or a special center in the brain. But the will is good to get in touch with if one day you sense that it is a bit difficult to get started with anything. There are people who, without warning, start playing the piano. They find a teacher. They practice. And then all of a sudden they play for us all. There are people who start to learn a new language, to ride a mountain bike, to collect ... I myself have been practicing to become a better badminton player. There are many things to practice. To pose correctly. To move systematically. Practicing the basics. Being able to vary. To be able to mask. To hit hard. To strike softly. To endure to win. To bear to lose. It's a long catalog. One stroke I have worked on refining is the serve. A good start is crucial to whether the ball gets into play at all. That's why I've been practicing the serve and it works really ...
