MEET THE JOKER: What would the JOKER say?

Every departmental meeting, team meeting, kick-off meeting needs the participants to hear new things, learn new things and understand new things. This does not happen when the leader is talking everyone to sleep. As you know, nobody learns anything when they are bored or have fallen asleep.

Hence this helping hand in the form of a collection of MEETING JOKERS, who create awake and fresh and enterprising employees who are given the opportunity to reflect on what they see, hear and perceive.

The manager must therefore accept that the employees challenge and provoke and twist what they have heard. This does not mean that the decisions must therefore be overturned or annulled. This means that all employees must understand and internalize (take it in) and make the 'news' their own. The manager is also not going to hear everything that is said. But there is nothing new in that. What is not said in the conference room is said at the coffee machine or even later - at home.

The 'news' can be made the employees' own with these tools, which make it possible for everyone to express, discuss, think and review.

Here follows a quick overview of the 10 JOKERs:

1 set of Dialoogle Pocket picture cards: Spread out a number of cards on a table or on the floor and ask everyone to choose 1 card and comment in pairs or in groups. Or ask everyone to choose 2 picture cards - one must express the best of the 'news' and the other must express a weakness of the 'news'. When everyone has spoken to 3 to 7 colleagues, ask for the best thing they heard along the way and write everything down on a flipchart or whiteboard.

1 Meeting Zest Thumball: Throw the ball and read the question aloud under your thumb and answer quickly yourself. Pass the ball forward. Give everyone the right to ask everyone to respond quickly to a particularly topic or important question.

1 set of Coaching Cubes: Choose from 36 coaching questions that can be used for the whole group or in smaller groups or for individual coaching. When more than 1 is coached, pick a question from one of the dice and ask everyone to talk about the question and note down the best ideas. Hear all the best ideas after 7 minutes.

1 set of Story Cubes: Tell your story in small groups based on the pictures of the cubes. For example, make a 'Once upon a time ...' or a 'What I heard was...' story.

1 set of Business Model Architect: Focus on the business, choose your methods. Choose from a single or a couple of Customer Values, Positionings, Price Levels, Experience Cycles, Customers, Customer Relationships, Channels, Resources, Activities, Partnerships, Revenues, Pricing Models and Costs.

1 set of Infinite Dialogue Cards and Recognitions: Complete questions in pairs and get a lot wizer on each other. Accomplish and recognize everyone in the team.

1 set of Change Option: Hold short meetings about the changes you need to make in pairs and at the same time.

1 Conversation Rope: Lay the rope out on the floor (like a horseshoe) and ask everyone to answer a question. One end of rope means A and the other end of rope means B. Between A and B everyone can choose too. Ask everyone to talk in pairs where they stand.

1 Meeting Quiz Working paper: Improve the ideas on 1 working paper, which is passed around the meeting table.

1 set of Team Option: Hold short meetings on many meeting topics in pairs and at the same time.

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 ...

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  ...
