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  new conversations about

Avoiding Burnout - 5 FISH! Philosophy Strategies

5 FISH! Philosophy Strategies for Avoiding Burnout:  For many people, they think that burnout is the same as stress, but that’s not entirely accurate. Stress is acute – we experience it in-the-moment due to a particular trigger. But burnout? Burnout is more long-term. It stems from accumulated stress over time, and often manifests almost like a depression: you may feel perpetually exhausted and anxious. You may feel like you can’t catch up on sleep, or that nothing brings you pleasure. You have trouble concentrating and connecting with people you love. Burnout takes time to set in, and also takes time to heal, and it’s often caused by long-term workplace stressors (although it can definitely be caused by non-work-related concerns such as marital problems or ongoing crises). What can you do if you’re feeling burned out at work? Here are five things you can do as a coworker or manager to help yourself and others find relief: 1. Take care of yourself (physically and emotionally) One of th

Sådan kommer medarbejderne til at holde af hinanden og holde af deres arbejde

  Sådan sikrer lederen, at  medarbejderne kan lide hinanden og kan de lide deres arbejde:  Når medarbejderne kan lide deres kolleger kan de også lide deres arbejde. Nogle mennesker hader at gå på arbejde. Det skyldes, at de ikke kan lide alle deres kolleger eller ikke kan lide chefen. Det kan lederen gøre noget ved. Men umiddelbart lyder det ikke nemt, at få mennesker til at holde af hinanden, have det sjovt sammen, nyde hinandens selskab. Men hvad nu hvis lederen kan skabe et fællesskab, hvor alle kan lide hinanden? Løsningen kommer her: Lederen kan bruge FISH! som er det enkleste og billigste redskab på markedet. FISH! består af film, bøger, plakater, hæfter, fisk, øvelser og planer for at skabe et fællesskab med gode relationer - og god hjælp til at komme i gang og holde det ved lige. Enhver leder kan gøre det selv - uden at blande eksterne konsulenter ind i opgaven. Først lidt forhistorie. Det var Pike Place Fish i Seattle som skabte deres fællesskab i den nu verdensberømte fis
