Planning and preparation were a great first step. Now that you are engaged in your teaming, there are two more tools that we encourage you to use. These will help you work through unexpected challenges, encourage each other to speak up, share feedback, learn from the experience, and celebrate your big and small wins.
PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY
WHEN: At the midpoint of your team process
WHY: To assess how comfortable each team member is in speaking up.
HOW LONG: 5 minutes individually & 15 minutes as a team.
AFTER ACTION REVIEW
WHEN: At the midpoint and at the end of your process.
WHY: To evaluate your performance and to reflect on what you did well and how you can improve the process next time.
HOW LONG: 15-60 minutes as a team
