Sharing our energy levels to connect as a team

One thing I really like with my team is that we start each day sharing our current energy level and feeling through a number between 1 (Not good 🌧) and 5 (Great ☀️).

You can also give some more details about why you (think you) feel the way you do if you like to.

This simple conversation makes it much easier for the entire team to understand who is having a tough morning or is bursting with joy.

One day you might have energy to spare for the really hard work, another day you just want to to be left alone.

Sharing feelings honestly, even in the form of a number, obviously require a foundation of psychological safety together with a mutual decision this is a good thing to do.

Having that shared picture really improves the chance for great teamwork.
