Having small ways to honor successes or timelines met :)

laurensdy13_ — 2023-11-16 16:33:46 UTC

good communication and context sharing

nctsnteams — 2023-11-16 16:33:51 UTC

Having a voice as a teammate

2023-11-16 16:33:51 UTC

Recognition

2023-11-16 16:34:08 UTC

It's nice to be recognized for accomplishments--maybe we can take some time on each meeting to celebrate and thank people for getting things done.

Having clear expectations and steady communication

laurensdy13_ — 2023-11-16 16:34:12 UTC

just being told thank you :)

nctsnteams — 2023-11-16 16:34:14 UTC

2023-11-16 16:34:20 UTC

Being asked my opinion

Ideas truly considered and not dismissed with "we tried it before"

jennifergrady — 2023-11-16 16:34:21 UTC

RESPECT - all perspectives are valid

2023-11-16 16:34:41 UTC

Feeling understood

diondeguzman — 2023-11-16 16:35:13 UTC

Especially when it's a big project that can get overwhelming it's nice to know nobody is "upset" if you have to step away from it for a quick second

being asked for help if someone is struggling--it's nice to step in and help out

nctsnteams — 2023-11-16 16:35:39 UTC

Being seen and heard

2023-11-16 16:35:48 UTC

Recognition of different styles of work and all of them being included on the team.

jennifergrady — 2023-11-16 16:36:16 UTC

I would love to see a Teams Chat thread for quick communications and questions throughout this process. :) Definitely open to multiple forms of communication, though.

laurensdy13_ — 2023-11-16 16:40:01 UTC

It's nice to know if people are okay with nudges or not upfront and preferred individual communication methods one-on-one (like email, teams, quick zoom, etc.)

nctsnteams — 2023-11-16 16:41:38 UTC

Honest and up-front

2023-11-16 16:43:32 UTC

We all need to be able to express opinions, even when we disagree, and question things we are uncertain about.

Times when we are all working plus time zones

nctsnteams — 2023-11-16 16:43:48 UTC

I know it sounds simply - Collaboratively. And we know it can be anything but easy. Can we create a culture of curiosity and respect right away?

jennifergrady — 2023-11-16 20:41:59 UTC

With transparency - if something has to be a certain way, has to change, just say so.

jennifergrady — 2023-11-16 20:42:45 UTC

Differences of opinion or how to make decisions when we disagree. Sometimes decisions will be consensus, sometimes it will be Lauren, Jen, etc.

nctsnteams — 2023-11-30 16:20:34 UTC

Prevention is the best approach. If you are not involved in a thing but you see disagreement that could cause future confusion, make it ok to point it out.

nctsnteams — 2023-11-30 16:21:23 UTC

Call attention to when we don't agree, or haven't made a decision

2023-11-30 16:21:23 UTC

Will help avoid misunderstandings later!

How to avoid triangulation about decisions. Be clear when a decision is final or when there is openness to change. Be open about why a decision was made, how it was informed by data, etc.

nctsnteams — 2023-11-30 16:23:29 UTC

It's okay to disagree and express a contrary opinion, or raise an alternative idea...

2023-11-30 16:23:44 UTC

We don't want to discourage different perspectives, questions, or creativity, etc. But then we have to be comfortable making decisions or cutting off conversations, and not all ideas will move forward.

How can we label if a conflict happened and/or share information if a conflict was resolved? Is it different if it's about content vs something personal?

nctsnteams — 2023-11-30 16:28:12 UTC

Can we commit to believe the best in people and try to resolve issues? Permission to check in with each other about it. Fo example, calling in/calling out

nctsnteams — 2023-11-30 16:30:51 UTC

What if someone not on the team comes to us about an issue or decision they are unhappy with?

nctsnteams — 2023-11-30 16:33:25 UTC

We know due dates can shift--so be prepared for that, and communicate!

2023-12-21 16:10:20 UTC

Add extra time / padding

2023-12-21 16:11:00 UTC

Don't overpromise, or think we'll get something done faster than we realistically can.

nctsnteams — 2023-12-21 16:11:39 UTC

Those who have more experience with the flow, please share with us newbies ;)

How changing due dates impact later tasks. Take time to think about it.

nctsnteams — 2023-12-21 16:12:05 UTC

Flexibility is key

2023-12-21 16:13:22 UTC

Which dates aren't moveable and identify those so we understand.

nctsnteams — 2023-12-21 16:13:42 UTC

Striving for positivity

2023-12-21 16:17:55 UTC

Airtable "Assignees" will post to whole team chat if they expect a due date delay

nctsnteams — 2023-12-21 16:19:52 UTC

We want to participate the BEST ;)

nctsnteams — 2024-02-15 16:17:33 UTC

Teams Chat

nctsnteams — 2024-02-15 16:17:46 UTC

here from all voices

2024-02-15 16:18:06 UTC

Knowing we can participate in certain areas but don't have to participate in all. Like use of subgroups

nctsnteams — 2024-02-15 16:22:07 UTC

2024-02-15 16:22:39 UTC

I also think the subgroups have been really helpful, and clear asks from team "leads" for help in certain areas have helped clarify how I invest my energy as a participant. (DH)

Being informed through the chat: helps us see what people are doing and assist the lift.
