π Do you sometimes feel that meetings are going in circles? π That it's often the same people who speak up while others hang back?
β¨At PLUO, we are aware of these challenges and have taken steps to transform the dynamics of our meetings. β¨
π How does it work? Here's what we intend to do:
π₯ Every voice matters! Thanks to sociocracy, our facilitators, all trained members of our team, ensure that each participant can express themselves and that the goals are achieved.
π‘ Game rules:
πΉ Active listening: the facilitator allocates speaking turns to promote mutual listening and to ensure that everyone is heard.
πΉ Speak in the first person, avoid judgments, and steer discussions towards constructive exchanges.
πΉ Structured feedback: for each proposal, the facilitator seeks clarifications, questions, reactions, and objections from everyone.
πΉ Inclusive decisions: an agreement is only reached if everyone consents. If disagreements persist, we rephrase until we reach a consensus or an acceptable compromise.
βThe result so far?
π€ The potential of each team member is increasingly valued! Everyone feels more involved in the decisions made collectively, which strengthens the unity and commitment of our team.
π§ Ongoing challenge: we acknowledge that we still need to improve our ability to make decisions more quickly. π
β¨ Although we have made significant progress in making our meetings more effective and engaging for everyone, it is an ongoing process, and we are committed to further improvement. β¨
