Team Canvas
Working together effectively...
The Team canvas is a really simple and effective group exercise.
The first box is identifying the members of your Team and their roles. This box is not just about their job titles have fun with it as well, what other roles do they take on? Who is the best tea maker, the best listener and who brings cakes from home.
To complete the values area, have some lovely images spread out on a table. You can buy several decks of cards #Atmybest is a set I use for workshops. Ask everyone not to overthink, but which cards are they drawn to and which reflect the feel or vibe of the Team. Once you have narrowed the cards down to a top 5 really push to get to a top 3!! You will have lots of chat and get really curious about what everyone is saying.
There is an area of the canvas for goals, this is not your objectives, really top level goals. Think big in this area, think of competitors, who would you like your Team to be!! Initially think independently and then bring it together with again no more than 3.
Finally what behaviours do you see attached to the values you have selected. Go to the Dare to Lead website #Brené Brown really good resource to download with a list of behaviours, taken from extensive research.
Bring the canvas to life and have lots of fun with it. Pictures words, Team photos and most importantly have it up in your office so every one who visits knows how great your Team is!!!
