Question from Erica - Would the answers that you got, help to change the way you work in the future?
At Northern Stage, they try to diversify skill sets by allowing every team member to bring something fresh to the table by having full team meetings. They mix things up by allowing team members, who would very rarely work together, to team up in an activity.
Northern Stage believes that is imperative in the workplace to have a structure of leadership quality and opportunity for staff members to take roles of responsibility.
Erica has a strong ethos that the more you listen to your staff, and each other, the more likely that the entire workforce will be open to trying new things, as well as feeling comfortable enough to approach senior management, and suggesting ideas.
Erica also believes that there is a responsibility to ensure that there is constant change within a company, in order to stay fresh and inspiring. Any standing still on a companies progression, will eventually lead to being stuck behind the changing economy, leading to the eventual decay of the business. This can sometimes lead to resistance, but if you allow that team member to go at their own pace, it will allow for scope to change.
Encouragement first and foremost is the key to effective communication, which then leads to being able to approach the things, which may not necessarily be so good.
