Story Telling

Challenge & Selection

Storytelling is a great tool that I try to use mostly for problem solving. I manage a team of fresh  candidates who just started their carrier in IT. The team was quite struggling to adapt to the work  environment and the efficiency of work was not so great. The team was not filling trackers on time and  team need a solid push for every task they took up. I thought to use Story telling tool to fix the current  situation of the team. I used many success stories of me and experience in previous project and how we  all scaled up as a team and won a client and also made sure that everyone in team had to say one of  their success story from their personal life to understand where each one stand.

Application

Firstly, I started to tell my story about how I started as a fresher and all the efforts I took to become a  subject matter expert within a short span of time. I also added that how team work makes a great  difference and how to seek help within team to complete daily tasks and importance of tracker updates.

Then I requested each member of team to share their success story and that made me understand what  drives the individual and also asked them to share what they liked in the team. They were also given a  chance to share difficulties that they are facing in completing a task. I noticed that the individual was  thrilled and proud to share their success story and understood that team needed motivation and chance  to make something outstanding in the teamwork.

Insight & Approach

Guess what, there was a new enthusiasm within the team after this activity and we as a team bought  couple of awards to encourage the outstanding work done by individual and this created a healthy  competition among the team members, also developed a bonding and I could see the team now was  seeking help from each other and the efficiency of work increased. We also received multiple client  appreciation.

Thanks to the tool and the Digital innovation!
