This Is How We Do It!
Like a lot of people working in a small, close-knit team we had some inside jokes and our own ways of brightening up the potential monotony of the daily grind. Ours was song lyrics - how could you intersperse the most apt lyrics or song titles into the work in front of you. And Montell Jordan's 'This is how we do it' held a special place, so much so that it had to be reserved for Fridays only!
So what's the relevance?
Humour and banter have a huge role to play in bonding a team. But it comes with a warning label - it's easy to alienate others, and it can be particularly isolating when new members join your team. Embrace it, but like all good things, do so deliberately and consciously. And take time to reflect if This Is How We should Do It.
In closing, make sure to Take It Easy; Stop, Collaborate and Listen; and Shine On You Crazy Diamond!
