@nataliewarnert
Teams are diverse entities whose norms are formed by the individual and collective experiences of their members.
How experiences shape them are sometimes readily apparent; other times they are not.

In every human interaction there is an emotional aspect – what people are feeling, attitudes based on past experience that are shaping their perceptions.- Closing the Interaction Gap

@nataliewarnert
BEHAVIORS AVOIDANCE CREATES
“Past histories of poor interaction between groups can breed resentments that are difficult to overcome. Even positive emotions can get in the way of effective interaction. People or groups who like and respect each other may hesitate to speak up about problems or share their ideas for fear of offending the other party and upsetting the relationship.”
Defensiveness – natural reaction is to defend your position –your style of working has created success in the past so the problem must be with the other people. – It’s easier to see in others than ourselves
-Closing the Interaction Gap

FOUR FATAL FLAWS
TOWER OF BABELFailing to create a shared language around interaction
THE GRAVITY OF HABITUnderstanding the power of group norms
ONE AND DONEFailing to transfer skills from theory to reality
HEAD OVER HEARTIgnoring the impact of emotions and defensiveness
Closing the Interaction Gap

COHESION
CONVERGENCE
CONFORMITY
UNDERSTANDING GROUP NORMS
Is the group conforming around norms that work against effective interaction? Is this influencing the diversity of the group?

Leave processing time or retrospect on personal thought processes
Practice self-awareness and emotional intelligence
