I set a goal of using my feet to walk around and engage team members in 5 work conversations (unscheduled) each day. The change in culture and the identification of problems, road blocks, oppertunities has been eye opening. As a natural introvert who’d rather be heads down it has made me much more effective in the team.
- rimliu 8y agoWhat does team think about this?
- biastoact 8y agoAs far as I can tell they like it. If it is a topic area we've previously discussed or tried to reason the best way forward they will now often proactively reach out when they need help or want someone to tell them how awesome they just were.
- matt_the_bass 8y agoHow do you prevent disruption on those that you interrupt?
- biastoact 8y agoI find that as long as it isn't every day and I show up to ask about their public deadlines, compliment them on progress, and offer to help where they are stuck that people don't react like it is a disruption.
- matt_the_bass 8y agoDo you schedule the visit or just drop in? Do you check their calendars first?
- biastoact 8y agoI more take some time to roam each day and if people aren’t deep in activity or meetings check in at that point. Afternoons are great as folks tend to be low blood sugar and more opt to be pushed back from their desks, etc.
