Create a mascot
• Spend 5 to 10 minutes brainstorming with your team to generate a list of personality traits and skills
that an ideal team member would possess.
• Your list should contain items that would be common for any team, as well as traits unique to
your specific team.
• Encourage team members to go beyond the obvious.
• After brainstorming, use the drawing feature of your online collaborative tool to create a team
mascot representing your ideal team member.
• It's fun to create your team mascot together in real time, with all team members contributing
something to the drawing. Make a stick figure that has all the characteristics in it.
• As a facilitator, you need to make sure that each person’s contribution is represented at least once
in the figure.
• Bring the stick figure to an artist (it can be a person in the team) and turn it into a cool-looking
mascot. Add the company colors if possible.
• Use it in presentations, and you can even make T-shirts and mugs with it and send them to the
team members.

Notas do Editor

  1. ACTIVITY 1: Burning questions Each person writes in a piece of paper a question they hope to go over during the training. The facilitator tries to find answers to the questions during the Workshop. The ones that don’t find an answer will be replied in an email with examples and interesting links. ACTIVITY 2: Back to back drawing: Draw what you hear. Material: figures made out of geometrical shapes (train, elephant, bear, house,…) all the drawings are different. One person gives verbal instructions on how to draw the shape without telling the other what it is. The other cannot show for approval or ask questions. Afterwards they compare. Facilitator asks about the difficulties. Talk about having no visual clues. Value of good listening. Methaphor for remote teams.
  2. I will tell you 3 stories that will illustrate how it works. The story of XX a XX, the ….
  3. Example: Collabora is a software development company. They programming team decided that the ideal team member had laser-focus, was serious, fast, didn’t make a mess, was tech savvy and of course, had good programming skills. The result is this ninja that carries a keyboard, 2 mouse, an antenna and flies in a cloud made of binary code.

  5. Do activities to increase identification with company and team:
  6. If they grow, you grow. All this is common sense but not common practice.
  7. Having a solid culture will help you transmit these values and attract the right people. Focus on contribution to the greater good. Help individuals connect the goal to their goal-related or life purpose.
  8. You can only motivate people that you know, people that thrive about. You think you know your team? It takes time
