Time to think things through - together

Targets abound and deadlines loom. 

Although challenging, taking time to pause amidst work pressures can make all the difference.

Together we will:

CLARIFY: task, time, authority

• Clarify core tasks and priorities 

• Discuss time boundaries 

• Clarify sources of authority to make decisions, get things done and empower people in their role

CONSIDER: team culture

• Think about everyday patterns, routines and communication styles

• Think about the team's ways of working together

CONNECT: to wider organisation and system dynamics

• Develop insight on how external pressures - the wider picture - might impact team performance and mindset

• Explore your inner image of the organisation (the organisation 'in mind'): what you feel about it and how this might influence your work

• Explore how your team is seen by other parts of the organisation or system

CREATE: links

• Join the dots to integrate ideas, thinking and learning across workstreams or projects 

• Surface perspectives or feelings linked to specific roles within the team or to different tasks - or to a particular change

• Build an integrated picture for the group as a whole
