What is Happiness Door?

A fantastic practice thanks to the result of the mojito applied by Jurgen Appello of the feedback Wall and Happiness Index.

What is Happiness Door?
The Happiness Door really is often just Post-Its with feedback written on them, and, like the Happiness Index, it assumes that people can act as the best gauge of their own happiness level the Happiness Door really is often just Post-Its with feedback written on them, and, like the Happiness Index, it assumes that people can act as the best gauge of their own happiness level.

As all M3.0 practice is low cost and sustainable over time.
What do you need?
  • Simply a Post-it, pen, markers, stickers, among other materials.
When to use it?
Feel free to use it if you need constant feedback on how the emotions go during the activity you are developing.
Examples
• To give a training
• At the end of a team coaching session
• At the end of the retrospective to give feedback to the Scrum Master for its facilitation, especially when it is starting in this role.
• During or at the end of a work meeting
• To measure the emotion of the team prior to the retrospective (Check - In) or to check out the retrospective.

How to use it?
  • Prepare the scenario in terms of the way you will use the technique, this is the key, it can be meaningless if the orientation and the dynamics are not well explained.
  • Ask people to write an anonymous comment or draw the emotion with which they feel identified with at that moment.
  • Read it momentarily in public to demonstrate transparency to all those involved. So if there is something negative a discussion period can be opened.

Example 1 -
Training with Students UCAB
How did I experiment?
You can choose the door where the activity is running, the one in the bathroom, etc., it has to be a visible space for all and intimate, so it provides comfort to the person who gives the feedback, we all need to go to the bathroom, attend an unexpected call, look for something, or take a break, that’s the reason for using the door as it is something very easy to see.

Example 2 -
Coaching with Teachers UCAB
There are other approaches such as measuring people’s happiness. Here is another experiment which was done with friends who are professors of a prestigious Venezuelan university (Universidad Católica Andrés Bello).  As they were close to completing the academic period, the Coach used the dynamics to measure how they felt and how their emotional state was that day and this was what resulted.

They all decided that the best they could do and what was within their reach that day was to watch the soccer game between Brazil and Serbia and if they could have bought refreshments were even better.  This is a way that teams can make decisions and take charge of improving their relationships and emotions, of course; always with the proper support of their manager.

Obviously something must be done to raise the energy and reform the emotional the team state, this is the result of the dynamics and the manager should do something for it.

Using Kudos to give Continuous reward to your Employees!

What is Kudos?  Since the appearance of the M3.0, the reward is a continuous act; it rewards behavior, not results, the Kudos technique is associated with the fourth aspect of Martie which is a tool used to support the intrinsic motivation of people at work. The Kudo is = symbol of gratitude. What is it useful for? I was attracted to use this technique when I was assigned as an agile consultant in 2015 in organizations that had decided to experience the Scrum framework as a way of working. The attraction of this technique is due to various aspects such as: It is practical, fun and easy to do, reward and motivate in public. It reads as a team, everyone participates, it promotes transparency in understanding what is being rewarded and why, nothing to do with a private session with the boss. It is economical, very low cost and sustainable through time. The moments in which you can use this technique will depend on the context, to name a few. At the end of an in

How do you achieve the empathy in your collaborators? Personal Maps can help you.

In 2014 I had the opportunity to work in a company that from the point of view of M.30 is a company that is managed under the management style M2.0 although there were more moments of management 1.0. The boss’s contact with his employees is very low or zero, the fact of observing the classical boss’s office with large, elegant spaces, well furnished, executive refrigerator, private bathroom and his door remaining shut rather than opening, leaves much to be said, generating a deep feeling of abandonment and insignificance towards his staff. The simplicity with which I was presented to this new team of professionals: This is Rodolfo Suárez who will be the new member of the department..., he has experience in..., very basic or very traditional in my opinion. I wondered if a better or different way didn’t exist to integrate new members of the team to other employees and managers. This unease led me to investigate and discover for the first time the existence of the M3.0 movement in
