Fostering a Culture of Open Conversations l Episode 8

07/18/23 • 19 min

I have an open conversation about the value open conversations offer the work you and your team perform together. Are your teams having open conversations? Are the conversations your team members are having open from the perspective of working better together? How does open conversation relate to the success your team achieves? And ultimately, Where can you foster and invite open conversation to your team?
I share my thoughts about how open the conversations serve your team and a story of how two teams came together to engage in open conversation to address challenges affecting the entire operation.

Assumption of Positive Intent l Episode 7

How do we build trust, collaboration, and effective problem-solving in our team? Should we wonder if those working with us are doing their best? And does our mindset affect our interactions with the team? Reflecting on these questions can begin with the assumption of positive intent. When you assume positive intent, you are more likely to approach conversations and conflicts with a constructive and open mindset. You approach the team members with the belief that they have good intentions, are capable, and want to contribute positively to the team's goals. By adopting an assumption of positive intent, you create a positive work culture where individuals feel valued, supported, and motivated to give their best.
Listen in to this conversation about how assumptions can impact our availability to serve the team.
