a daily basis (and WHY...)
2. Assign an AWW Buddy (co-pilot) to each person
in the team who will provide input and feedback
and hold the individual accountable
3. Finish each meeting with the question: “what
could we have done differently at this meeting to
be more effective”?
4. Practice ‘Appreciation’ – at the end of each
week/day ask one or two individuals to share an
‘Appreciation’ of another person’s practice of the
agreed way of working.
