Successful communication is at the heart of great teamwork, but words can mean different things to different people. We all tend to project our own biases onto commonly used words.
Mary and David Sherwin - experts in team dynamics - have devised Teamwords, a collaborative card-based team-building system that cuts through differences to create consensus.
If we can agree on the meaning of words at the start of projects, we will understand each other much better as we work together.

Teamwork's intensity can increase if you see your teammate as a friend or companion rather than a player.
Understanding one another job position is something I always try to stress at work. But someone can’t see pass their own job position and that’s why things won’t change.
Brilliant idea 💡 I would also like this game in a Relationship version 👩🏽🤝👨🏾...
Slip some "Cards Against Humanity" in the decks...
All talk no action. Typical middle management.
Open communication is the key to unlocking everything, but people don't use it that way for a number of reasons, fear being a big one.
Yeah
I love this sooo much. Ty!!
Teamwork is mentioned as important but companies tend to fail to cultivate. If we can better communicate at work and if we can understand each other better as people, we’ll be on our way to building something even more beautiful. Need to rmb that
Is there a link to buy the deck?
Could u please tell me the list of words used in the pack of cards?
How do you buy this card game?
I think using "professional" was the worst example to use...who thinks about lunch and clothes when this word appears?! 🤣 competence, wise in a specific field etc. suits better..
Yeah, you're right in terms of work skills, but I think she was mentioning the outside appearance that some people expect.
Isn't. THat differemce in perspective the point?
Proving the point of the video. What professional means, is highly cultural. Coming from someome working internationally
It was actually an excellent example and you’re kinda proving it with your comment.
They didn't ask for the definition. So you can just say what comes to your mind when you hear the word "professional". And for different people,they think different things. Like for example if you ask me 'What do you think when you hear the word "lawyer"?',I would say Saul Goodman
The word professional usually/ normally refers to doctors, lawyers, engineers and the like.
But there seems to be a trend to apply it to low skill, non - qualification type jobs.
I believe it's because they can't say they are qualified but still take payment.
I don’t have any cards to play.
Wow... Impressed
I am sick and tired of being hacked all the time
Is the word team generally understood?
Try the game “Who You Are Matters”… builds on this and much more depth…
Design thinking belongs in every facet of a business.
SHARE THE BOOK NAMES
what are these 44 words?
My wifi can be accessed by only the surrounding to it that’s my understanding
Professional is someone who works in a profession that requires skills and knowledge
Wow
does it improve profit margins ?
Are you human and monkey?
I don't think going over a handful of words is sufficient. I think it takes a ton of time and effort to build team cohesion and agreed commitments.
where could I buy it??
Same question
This is what happens when teamwork becomes a metric instead of genuine collaboration effort to achieve a goal.
100%
You spiked it ALL over!!!!!!
But the bear thing is - you both were collecting it together as well!!
Now that’s a teamwork!?!!
We appreciate your effort and dedication on this channel. God bless you.
U just gotta pursue a state of flow/mindfulness/critical point/, where u experience the moment for what it is, and when you feel that there is a disconnect in the group's experience/understanding of the moment/idea, then you clarify the intention/wording to get everybody back on the same page so that you can work as a team effectively. Being in the same moment (common understanding of the facts). And understanding ideas in the same way is vital for good teamwork.
To understand/know ur teammates is imperative to resolve issues in communication
🤨
👌🏼👌🏼
That is a great idea. Each of the team members should first define the meaning of "a team" or "team work". And then, they will have to agree to a single definition so that they set boundaries as to what they should and shouldn't do. It's give structure to the team. It's somewhat obvious when you really think about it, but it's the key in having a good communication.
This is awesome.
Interesting, this just reinforces my decisions to not work in corporate America! No chop chop chop thx
The fact this shit has so many positive reactions is everything you need to know why corporations can fuck with workers
Corporate America...
The pits
The galleys of business.
🙏
That's the way to downwind. Mad props. What gear is he on?
💪💪

Funny that the bosses are not on the team. Makes the team concept seem like a manipulation.
Not really. I don't think you're experienced delegated teams, where there is no bosses involved in the work. In fact, a lot of the bosses wouldn't know where to start doing the work. Most organisations have also eviscerated their middle management and supervisory roles to save costs, even in processing work. So the team doing the might be all operational staff at the same grade. So, no bosses are required for team work.
This really depends on the role the boss has to take. If your boss has a delegation role rather than a leadership role it's fair and expected for them not to be involved with your team. However, it would still be productive for both of you to participate in this game with each other as it will help them learn how to better delegate your team; hopefully improving your relationship.
Management do team building exercises.
The difference is that at the lower end of the workers, they don't show them how to lead the team.
@@BigHenFor I don't know about that. What I see more and more is more micromanagement and people who actually do the job being fired and all the bosses staying right where they were.
If bosses or execs were to play this game, you can bet on a few Wild Draw 4 Card from a Uno deck. The only thing is, the bosses are the ones that are holding those Wild +4 cards.
Thanks , I appreciate but I prefer to invest in data science , statistic observation , industrial economy .
Interesting that something as simple as adjectives unrelated to the project the group is focused on can foster the beginnings of better communication. I seems to me the idea here is to provide a central starting point for individuals to learn how each communicates best. Not only are they learning individual preferences, but also how each group member expresses themselves and communicates these preferences. I'm guessing both aspects help improve efficiency in the group. Excellent suggestion.
Your content recently are really touching. I am really enjoy what your channel doing. Thank you
I’d absolutely hate a job that asked me to dive into my “feelings” in the workplace. Just give me my job and let me work. I’m not showing up for a therapy session! If we are all being honest, the issue with work harmony and flow isn’t with our language, it’s that a class of managers justifying their jobs needs to get out of the way so people can actually do the job they were hired for.
I only want you guys to do it if you’re actually helping me not hurting me
Looks useless to me
