Remind team members in a retrospective of the significance and meaningfulness of their jobs. After some bafflement they could realize again that their jobs are important and do create value.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Monday I was inspired by the following tweet:<\/p>\n

What\u2019s a quick and effective way to motivate employees?buff.ly\/WQmTVh<\/a><\/p>\n

I tried to work with the answer (“Remind them why their jobs are important.”) in a retrospective activity straight ahead and thought it worked quite well.
\nLike a User Story Form (“As [role] I want [desite] so that [benefit].”) I asked each team member to complete the following empty columns by wiriting post-its:
\nMy work as [role] has [this concrete significance] for [target group, user]. <\/strong>(Significance Story)<\/p>\n

\"Retrospective<\/p>\n

In the [target group, user]-column you will find several, different post-its. Ask in the next step what the expectations might be that those users have on them as a team. Let them again write their answers on post-its and stick those in a new, empty comlumn.<\/p>\n

Finally let the team decide in a discussion which “Top 3” of the user’s expectations they want to measure up to preferentially.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"2\" \"3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Be surprised about the outcome.
\nIn my case the team wanted to measure up to the exectation of being a team that creates value and that makes a difference. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
