Introducing "Food for Thought" #9. The formula is simple: three short messages once a week to feed your mind.
Facilitation
The most important step before any team activity
Define the purpose and context of the activity. Knowing how to create meaning is crucial to encouraging participants' commitment. If there's no meaning, team building is just a treasure hunt, a fun activity for colleagues, a break or a recreation. If there's no meaning, a team building activity may be fun, but its impact is short-lived.
P.S. We cover this topic in greater detail in TeamTalk certification. The next training date is Friday, February 3.
Productivity
Three ingredients for success
Discipline, consistency and intensity. Results come from the combination of all three. Taken separately, they don't have as much impact.
Discipline means getting up in the morning to go running. Consistency means doing it every day. Intensity means giving your best effort every day.
