- Reduce conflict in the workplace?
- Get along better with your team?
- Create a culture of excellence?
If so, this article is just for you. If not you can forward it to someone who NEEDS to hear the message! 🙂 The ideas came from a brainstorming session during one of my training sessions on Creating a Culture of Excellence.
Select the Following Statements That Fit You and Your Team
- I will talk to you promptly if I am having a problem with you. The only time I will discuss it with another person is when I need advice in deciding how to communicate with you in a positive way.
- I will not back bite or blame. I will ask you to do the same thing with me.
- I will not complain about another team member and ask you to do the same. If I hear you complain about someone, I will ask you to talk to that person.
- I will do my best to start with a fresh slate and forgive past problems. I ask you to do the same with me.
- I will recognize you when you contribute quality work.
- I will remember that neither of us is perfect, and that human errors are opportunities for learning.
Thoughts From Joyce
Which statement above speaks to you? What have you done on your team to create a culture of excellence? These statements are great ways to open up an honest dialogue. You need to have a facilitator who will encourage openness and honesty. Of course set ground rules ahead of time to make sure that bullies don’t feel free to be sarcastic and negative!
