Borrowed from our inspiration, Gil Cates\u2019 use of a gong to announce successes and celebrations. The DWG team now \u2018clacks\u2019.<\/p>\n
After shopping for an appropriate gong, I thought we might need to be more original when I came across two what we have been calling Clackers that we bought on our last China teaching trip. (It\u2019s sort of a tambourine with balls on strings \u2013 so when you spin it \u2013 it drums).<\/p>\n
Initially, we used it to make our team meetings more fun and to announce new projects or web site launches. It has evolved in a way that makes me smile. The guidelines for when to clack has diluted, it is now a team activity. People will clack when they have a celebration or a milestone and the entire team perks up their ears.<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t need a Clacker to Clack<\/strong><\/p>\n A few months back, we had a meeting and no one brought a clacker\u2026.so we all just said \u201cclacker, clacker, clacker\u201d. We laughed and that is now part of our team ritual.<\/p>\n It\u2019s important to celebrate the big moments for the organization\u2026.but it\u2019s also important to celebrate the moments that are important to team members.<\/p>\n \u2026clacker, clacker, clacker\u2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Borrowed from our inspiration, Gil Cates\u2019 use of a gong to announce successes and celebrations.
