HIGHs & LOWs is a weekly team meeting where each member shares the HIGHs and LOWs of their week. It can be related to business or personal. The goal is to do a round table on how each person has experienced the week, discover motivators and demotivators, and celebrate the week’s work which is often forgotten.
At work, things get intense. There is so much pressure with the rush of meetings, deadlines, and projects. It happens so fast that we even forget what we did yesterday, let alone last week. In such a busyness, who has the time to check on each other? Who knows how each team member feels? It becomes so much about business that our singularities disappear, especially when leading bigger teams. We hide. We lose interest in others. We only care about what our team can do for us.
The modern workplace has become a dichotomy. For our consumers, we offer the ultimate customization, we watch them closely, and we give positive encouragement. But when it comes to the workforce, we do the opposite. We become insensitive to who our teams are. We don’t care where they are at psychologically, and we appreciate them very rarely.
With the best of intentions, we organize a team activity, give a bonus check, or send birthday flowers once a year. Once a year is better than nothing, but it is not often enough. The HIGHs & LOWs Method allows you to form meaningful connections with your team members every week.
You can do the HIGHs & LOWs team meeting in multiple ways, which makes it so easy to do every week. From in-person to video to calls, any platform makes the job exceptionally well. The objective is to connect.
Team members start the round table by sharing their notes, and then the team manager ends. To make the most out of this gathering and use it as a motivational tool, the manager has a more refined responsibility.
In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.
