Establish a dynamic of continuous improvement
Ask the team regularly to assess the way they do things: What is useful? Efficient? What is not? How could we reorganize tasks, save time? You might set up workshops for "challenging our practices" and sharing the solutions everyone has tried. Or these questions can be discussed during team or individual meetings.
Creating a habit of re-assessment is essential. This regular questioning gives substance to the collective endeavor: each person adds their own contribution.
Position yourself as a facilitator
In the process of continuous improvement, the manager provides support. The objective: bring out the preoccupations, ideas, and solutions from the group and from each co-worker, thereby reinforcing their engagement. The best proposals are those produced by the team!
The approach:
★ assess without preconceptions what is working, what isn't working, what could be done differently, for what benefit, with what means, etc.
★ resist the temptation to offer solutions yourself and instead facilitate the team's reflection.
Value people's experiences
Changing how we do things isn't so natural -- experiences deserve to be recognized and congratulated, whether successful or not. As part of your everyday work but also at larger internal events, on the intranet, on forums, etc. Improvement becomes a habit if everyone gets something from it.
