“Yes, And...”
Techniques
-
Spend time on a regular basis connecting with each other without talking about work.
-
Acknowledge and embrace that everyone, regardless of gender, has emotions that influence their thoughts and decisions.
-
Acknowledge or express appreciation to each other frequently.
-
CAUTION: Appreciation should be an everyday activity, not just at retrospectives and group meetings. Ideally, every interaction should start with appreciation for the other person.
-
WARNING: Because of our brain biology, appreciation is not easy; it’s a lot easier to see what’s wrong with what another team member said or did; but beginning conversations with problems often creates more problems.
-
-
Beware of making assumptions and ask clarifying or confirming questions to ensure that what you think is happening is actually happening.
-
CAUTION: If the other person says that your understanding is wrong, slow down and listen; they may be wrong but they may also be right.
-
-
Avoid dismissing others’ contributions and build on what has already been contributed.
-
TIP: Address one piece of feedback at a time; avoid chaining multiple points of feedback together (e.g. “...and another thing…”).

Remote Work Tools
Techniques
-
Support each employee individually to find their best areas of growth.
-
Provide opportunities for employees to train with outside instructors as a way to infuse new perspectives into your team.
-
CAUTION: Do not restrict growth opportunities due to convenience, e.g. “Only take courses from our organizational partner.”
-
-
Consider company objectives, current roles, and future career paths when choosing training options.
-
Check in with employees on the application of growth opportunities at least every quarter; don’t wait until the end of the year.
