What should we start, stop, and continue doing to improve how we work together?
As we begin the new academic year, what are ways we can rethink how we operate? Take some time this month to reflect on current behaviors, processes, or habits. Create a safe space to share feedback without judgment, build trust, and continuously improve.
In your 1:1:
-
Reflect on what’s currently effective.
-
Identify habits or practices that are no longer serving you.
-
Co-create ideas to try going forward.
Managers: Don’t just listen—act, where possible. When a report shares something to stop or start, follow up with changes or check-ins to show you're taking it seriously. Demonstrating responsiveness builds credibility and encourages future honesty.
