It makes practical sense to sit together after a big project and talk about feedback to make it better.
What if, instead:
- We get around the table and make everyone speak one (or three) good thing(s) about the project, but it has to be not from them but about someone else.
- Then everyone else writes one thing they could do better with themselves in the same project.
- And then they write the name of the person who needs to do better + how to do it better and more constructive next time (not just “you were bad”). You don’t need to write your name.
It has never been done before, but it is worth testing how we do at a point of cheering for others, correcting ourselves, and correcting others anonymously.
Growth may not always have to be disturbing.
