Teams365 #2752 - Principle: Keep it simple

Chapter 3 of Reconnecting Workspaces explores the topic of Team Effectiveness.

As I write in the book, “Keep things simple and take time to co-create with the team. In a team or group context, the complexity is with the group. When we are able to input our ideas, we feel a sense of ownership. Teams get activated when they are empowered.”

What does keeping things simple in your team look like? This might include:

• Minimizing meetings to core events that all team members need to be at;
• Simplifying processes
• Streamlining communication
• Saying no to non-essential tasks (after dialogue of course!)
• Focusing on one area of specialization rather than all

Most of these elements are crucial as a team. What can keeping things simple look like in your team?

As I read in a recent article, in times of complexity it is not about being additive. It is about taking things away.

Enjoy your reflection!
