Values adapted from findings.
| Values | Supporting Behaviours |
| Practice, protect and promote small expressions and actions of gratitude and care which build a culture of value and joy | Arrange meetings and agendas to allow time for intro and outro chat Allot a specific amount of time a day and week to just walk around the studio and building Make it an active practice to ‘catch people doing things right’ (Blanchard cited in Brown, 2018, p.98) Push for the entire programme to have an office together even though we’re a big team |
| Build trust and empathy through vulnerability | Share the negative myself and ask for it from others – Create time for it Organise meetings around contentious issues within our department, making the implicit – explicit Feel that discomfort is natural, maybe even welcome it? |
| Create a culture of purposeful and productive meetings | Apply the purpose not category rule to all meetings I organise Design the meeting accordingly In an obligatory meeting, try to dig for and surface the real purpose Have frequent conversations in the department about the purpose and design of our meetings |
| Manage the complex meeting interplay of communication, power, the language of request/offer/commitment and controversy | Keep taking up opportunities to chair meetings and sit with the complexity Devote a significant amount of time to preparing for meetings, practically and emotionally Make sure you’ve rested enough to be properly alert , maybe follow the H.A.L.T advice – Don’t get too hungry, angry, lonely, tired. (Brown, 2018, p.87) |
