High performing teams

The following suggestions come from "How elite teams increase their emotional intelligence".

1. Have a “check in” at the beginning of the meeting – that is, ask how everyone is doing

2. Assume that undesirable behavior takes place for a reason. Find out what that reason is. Ask questions and listen. Avoid negative attributions

3. As the work proceeds, tell your team-mates what you are thinking and how you are feeling about the process

4. When you make decisions, ask whether everyone agrees with the decision

5. Question the quickness of taking a decision

6. Ask quiet members what they think
