#TEams365 #1353: Team Building Tip #152: Teams and Interruptions

It's Thursday and time for our weekly team building tip, or what is often a team-building question. Interruptions are common-place today and we don't often stop to think about the cost of them. Research has found that the cost of interruptions is huge. Dr. Gloria Mark has found that it can take 20 minutes for an individual to get back on track after an interruption, but what about a team?

This week it might be interesting to consider the question "What interruptions take us off course?"

Some additional questions you may want to consider as a team this week around this question are:

What are the people, events, things that interrupt us?
What is the cost of these interruptions?
What is the plus (or advantage) of these interruptions?
What will minimize the interruptions?
What interruptions actually help us?
What will help us focus more?

Have a great Thursday,
Jennifer
