If you have a groups that is not used to be in a reflective conversation or exposed to a more participatory way of working and/or are quite new to each other, then I [Jan Hein Nielsen]  would be more directive in my hosting and certainly in the beginning of the process until the “container” for learning have been more established.

 

As you heard me say, I [Jan Hein Nielsen]  am a strong believer that this is the time to come (even more) together as a team and support the social fabric of your team and your practices of collaboration and cooperation and by that also strengthen your sense of belonging to the (now virtual) community.

However a greater number of on-line meetings might also create an exhaustive and fatigue mode with less dynamic, focus and thereby quality to follow.

In order to use the best of “meeting” on-line but without demotivate each other, I will suggest that you have at least 1 on-line meeting where you address this “new way of working” and co-create guidelines for how to use on-line meetings so they stay constructive. One example is: “No meeting should be more than 45 min”.

 

Almost going to say “welcome to my world…” :) What I [Jan Hein Nielsen] mean is, as you no longer “go to work” and physically move yourself from one place to another and by that make a transition between private life and work life, but instead go to the living room and turn on your devices and come on-line - you can unconsciously also create a work culture of always being on-line in your teams, as “on-line presence is 24/7 and never sleeps”.

Some you might already live like that (I know I do…) and for some of you it might be new - but take care of your self and your team colleagues and maybe you and colleagues need to address this “new” worklife balance and how to deal with that
