PLAYGROUND RULES
E-Learning Solution
Go in with the play mindset
The rules are simple: respect your team, include others, and trust each other. The quickest way to get someone on your team is to let them
know you’re on theirs. We all learned back in our first days on the playground that people like to play with others who are positive, respectful, and kind. It’s no different from when we show up as a leader in the workplace.
To succeed together is to build a cohesive and connected team with mutual respect and kindness while inspiring accountability. Consistency develops trust, and persistency shows commitment. Be transparent, honest, and foster trust. Nothing will get accomplished if people do not trust their leaders, each other, and their company’s purpose. Practicing positive intent reduces stressful misunderstandings and miscommunications. It is as much a habit as it is a mindset. As a result, team members will feel more comfortable with each other, which drives collaboration.
