LET'S HAVE A WIFLE- Part 2
The Rules for a WIFLE ...
Sit around the room. Starting with the person next to you, ask, 'What do you feel like expressing?' This person then has the right to say whatever he or she feels like saying without interruption. This is most important. If anyone does not feel safe to express whatever he or she feels, you are all wasting your time. Remember to play above the line.
Once he or she has had a say, this person then asks the next person what they feel like expressing. When everyone has had their say (and only when everyone has finished) you may then ask if anyone has any 'burnings'. This is where anyone who feels they have been wrongly treated during the WIFLE replies directly to the other person, either by apologizing or explaining what actually happened. If these sessions are conducted correctly, you will find your team bonds together much more effectively and relates to each other as human beings instead of as just someone they work with.
It is important to have everyone realize that any complaints should not be personal attacks, but should instead focus on behavior. This is essential to enable everyone to feel safe in voicing any criticism of you or the system so that changes, and progress, can always be made. You may also try other variations of this such as the high-low. This is where each team member expresses his or her high and low for the week during the WIFLE. Remember, open and honest communication is one of the first steps in building a championship team.
