Motivation: 8 Secrets of Success
Activity: Break up into small groups and discuss what stands out to you in Kirk's recent post. Record observations and give to Mary Malpezzi.
The reading "Relationship Advice offered where?" is attached as Huddle october 21. After the groups read this, they gave the following observations:
1. Relationships are important in our role in how we work with people.
2. Jargon - we need to be conscious of the words being used to everyone understands what is being discussed.
3. Answer a question before it is asked - DTS does this well internally; but externally we need to work on. The good first step is the Above & Beyond cards.
4. Relationships are formed by being credible; action needs to be taken where there are issues with our relationships.
5. It is noticed that we lose connection when we don't hold huddles over the summer...there is strength in relationships.
