🚨 Wanted: lessons & tips for working on a team, particularly relevant for today

[#1]

Winner update:

Thank you to all of the participants. Just looking at the sentiment behind the comments and number of pageviews from folks who didn't even comment, I'm heartened by how many people are picking up the advice provided in this initiative.

@Natalie Mendez and the team behind Work Life will be reviewing content for the rest of the month to produce a Work Life piece. She will reach out to those 

Until then, winners of the "who generated the most comments" from their discussions component will receive the blanket mentioned below. Because we had such a close call, we're actually going to award FOUR winners. They are: Jennifer Velázquez_jexo, Jimmy Seddon, Nikki Zavadska _jexo, and Jack Brickey. I'll reach out to y'all via email! Congratulations 👏

Y'all have come up with teamwork advice that stands the test of time. But now, Atlassian wants to collect "lessons and tips for working on a team, particularly relevant for today."

Not only will participating help members of the Teamwork Lab, but your submission will also be entered into a contest. Here's what you get.

1. A Chateau Chenile Fringe Blanket! 
   • Pictured here:
   • The top three submissions with the most comments will automatically win a blanket that can warm people physically (while your words might warm-up to each other. 
     
     
2. Inclusion in an upcoming article for Atlassian's award-winning blog, Work Life. TBD on the total number to be included.

Here's how to participate.

1. Between January 10 and January 20, create a DISCUSSION in the Teamwork Lab.
2. Title the discussion TIPS & LESSONS FOR 2022: [INSERT YOUR TOPIC HERE IN A COUPLE OF WORDS]
3. At the top of your post, please include your lesson/tip. Your advice should be limited to 1-2 sentences.
4. Later in the discussion post, please also explain why you think teams could especially use your advice right now. This explanation should not be a part of the 1-2 sentence(s) that comprise your advice at the top of your post.
5. Share your post outside of the group to get fresh takes on your thoughts and spark discussion :) 

Good luck!
