Founders

Running a meeting today? 

Try this quick warm-up:

Weekly Retro:
1) what were the wins this week? 
2) what were the losses? 
3) what was a key learning? 
4) what’s a key goal for next week?

I would like to say that a weekly retro is not quick and not intended to be a warmup. Those sessions take at least an hour depending on team size and you really want to take your time with a facilitator who knows what they are doing. I ran those sessions for years with many different teams.

Good point 👏🏻

If this is a discussion… more time is helpful. 

If it’s an individual writing prompt, it can be shorter.

Yep. It’s a great exercise if there is trust on the team. It can help encourage vulnerability, provide clarity, and increase accountability. 

I did this as a educator and do it now as a coach, with individuals and teams/groups. 

Once you do this, folks anticipate these questions, which helps.

Have you ever successfully facilitated this writing exercise in a team or other context? If so, what was your experience with it? How did this go and what were the effects?
