You know you’ve got a good team when…
I’m sure there are hundreds of responses to this prompt. One that really sticks in my mind was from one team session I was working on. We were discussing our hopes and aspirations for the team and I was asking them what would you see and what would you hear (by the way, this phrase is brilliant for exploring notional ideas like respect, trust, teamwork).
The response that stuck with me is
“we will hear stupid questions”
What a fantastic aspiration! A team that gets on well enough and is open enough not to worry about what other people will think if they ask a stupid question; where the stupid question is welcome.
Hurrah for stupid questions. In fact, is the stupidest question the one you don’t ask?!
How do you know when you’ve got a good team?
