Bringing Attention to Unproductivity
Suggested Strategy: Practice creating the framework on how to tactfully point out teammates’ unproductive behaviors interfering with productivity. Use role play and peer to peer relationships to help build the trust necessary to do so. This can be done in a one-on-one or in a group setting.
Suggested Questions:
Î Rating Question: On a scale of one to six, with six being you feel comfortable telling your peers when they’re being unproductive, and one being you avoid these conversations consistently, where would you rate yourself and why? What can we do together to get you closer to a six? Î Risk Question: What risk do you assume by not working on the knowledge necessary to tactfully point out unproductive behavior?
Suggested Activities:
Î Define & Coach: Have the employee or employees come up with their definition of tactfully confronting employees that are being unproductive. Then, coach to their definition if your definitions are not in alignment. Î Whiteboard Coaching: On the left-hand side of the board, write down how the employee/team currently addresses unproductive behavior. Then, on the right-hand side of the board, have them describe what addressing unproductive behavior looks like tactfully. Then erase the left side then ask them what actions need to be taken so the right side of the board becomes a reality.
