In the first episode of our new season „Inside the Box“ we introduce three great tools to build stronger teams and establish a trustful atmosphere in your company. Building upon our Workshop Format „The Team Resort“ we introduce you to the following tools:

#1 Checkin and Checkout [6.13]

When to use: at the beginning and the end of each meeting or workshop

What’s the purpose? Checking-in/out invites each team member to be present, seen, and heard. Checking-in emphasizes presence, focus, and group commitment; checking-out emphasizes reflection and closure.

Tool #2: Project Goals [13.03]

When to use: at the project’s kickoff. 

What’s the purpose? This tool can help provide clarity about “what success looks like”; uncover hidden assumptions about activities, outcomes, success, and failure; and identify potential causes of failure. Get your team aligned towards the same goals!

Tool #3: I appreciate - a Feedback exercise [19.30]

When to use? Effective feedback given regualrly is one of the most important ingredients in building constructive relationships and strong teams

What’s the purpose? Feedback helps your team members gain a growth mindset. Feedback creates a culture that enable learning and growth, which results in improved engagement and productivity.
