🚀 Fostering Excellence: The World of Highest Performing Teams @EY!   Creating highest performing teams (HPT) is more critical than ever in our journey towards global integration, teaming and collaboration. 🌍In today's Part 1 of our Finance EW Story, we're diving into the core principles that drive our teams´ success @EY.   Drawing inspiration from Patrick Lencioni's "Five Dysfunctions of a Team", we've crafted a solid foundation with our HPT pyramid. 💎 This framework guides us in fostering the unique combination of characteristics and behaviors that propel us to ask better questions.   👇 Have a look at the Carousel below and stay tuned for Part 2!   The journey will continue with my "work best-EY" Anna Calandra sharing firsthand experiences from our workshops on the client side. 🤝 She will put theory into practice, assessing team dynamics and identifying areas for growth at every layer of our pyramid.   Join us as we explore the power of teamwork and strive towards elevating our performance to new heights! 🚀 Niklas Oldiges, Maja Fritsche, Florian Puppe, Karsten Quirini #StoriesofFinanceEW #betterworkingworld #eyconsulting #highestperformingteams

Looks like PwC needs some Human Factors thinking!  Did you see the news reports on a review of PwC Australia by Ziggy Switkowski? The review found, amongst other things, a reluctance of partners to challenge the CEO. PwC says it is now ‘embedding a culture and practice of constructive challenge’. Of course, PwC is not alone in this. The aviation industry had similar problems and learned the downsides of this the hard way. An industry culture where junior crew members once refrained from challenging an aircraft captain, now promotes respectful challenge. Captains now explicitly brief their crews ‘If you see me doing something that you’re not happy with, speak up’. This mindset shift has saved lives. None of us are infallible. We all make mistakes. We all have blind spots. If you are unknowingly walking into a crisis, would you want someone to speak up? That’s part of human factors thinking!

At MCIS Life we strive to foster a dynamic and collaborative environment where everyone feels empowered to Speak Up, Amp Up, Add Up, and Team Up. Our Internal Audit Division monthly meeting wasn't your typical number-crunching, gap assessment affair. We participated in the company's Culture Activation Program with a unique twist: a gratitude and affirmation session. Instead of diving straight into the Internal Audit Reports, we took time to acknowledge each other's contributions and offer constructive suggestions for improvement. This fostered a more open and supportive environment, where team members felt comfortable sharing ideas and concerns. This shift in communication wasn't just about feeling good (although that's always a plus!). It's paving the way for a stronger, more collaborative Internal Audit team, ultimately leading to a more effective approach to our work. By fostering this environment of transparency and mutual respect, we're building stronger relationships and ultimately, revolutionizing the way we approach internal audits. What are some ways you encourage open communication within your team?
