Based on the latest research from Atlassian, only 13% of teams are considered truly effective. And with 65% of teams being hybrid or fully remote, it’s no wonder we’re having trouble connecting and being our most effective selves.
Creating a shared understanding - that feeling where everyone on the team understands their mission, purpose, and what needs to get done to deliver on goals— is critical to building high-performing, effective teams.
But where do you even start?
The Atlassian Work Coaches know how challenging this can be for teams. So, they’ve curated a set of Team Shaping Plays designed to help your team understand what they should be doing and why, in order to achieve their goals. Those Plays are:
Each Play contains expert facilitation trips, tricks, and examples to make your Play a success. However, there’s a lot we can share and learn from each other. That’s the purpose of this post.
Please comment below to share and discuss which Team Shaping plays could help your team become more effective.
Here's the prompt: Name at least one of the Team Shaping Plays your team could benefit from running today. Explain why and how.
Bonus prompt: If you’ve already run one of these Plays, how did it go? What advice would you give another team running the Play?
