Pip’s Practical Prompts Newsletter
Sent by Charles Burdett
Leadership
The museum of revelations
Have your team learn from each other fast with an exhibition - physical or virtual - of your team’s biggest learnings.
Ask each team member to provide photos that represent a key lesson from a past project.
Then run a meeting where everyone explains their ‘artefacts’.
Teamwork
Get better feedback
Generic feedback is the enemy of improvement.
If you really want to be better, make it easy for people to open up about how you did.
Ask them this simple question: “What one thing could I do better next time?”.
Productivity
Seek discomfort
The best lessons are rarely learnt in your comfort zone.
To make tackling new tasks easier, make discomfort your goal.
What can you do today that would initially feel awkward?
One of the few newsletters I look forward to.
