KYT
Why should only banks have all the fun with KYC? We can have similar fun but with KYT 😉
KYT - Know Your Teams, is a great practice for organisations to spend some time with your team and connect with the human aspects.
I do this every quarter with all my team members (with or without budget). Caring, listening actively, supporting when in need, laughing a little, having a meal together, meeting in-person, being honest, discussing what matters - doesn't cost a thing. It feels even better when we can do it in a different location, with expensive food & drinks, relaxed ambience and swanky couches. But the core doesn't change.
As human beings we evolve. Change is our growth catalyst. It is important to keep up with the changes in your team member lives. Overnight a lot of things can change. Being mindful of those changes help you to connect better and deeper. Spend deliberate time to know your teams. In my startup days, I did it almost every week as we were a small team. Me being me, I have a structured protocol for KYT with my teams that I developed over a period of time. It helps to know how to KYT.What are your rituals to know your team?
🥂 to KYT!
