The SCARF model

I am often reminded, during mentoring and business coaching sessions, of the importance of human relatedness and regular one-on-ones.This prompts me to refer to David Rocks superb work on the SCARF model (https://lnkd.in/gXPveQZ) which involves five domains of human social experience:S tatusC ertaintyA utonomyR elatednessF airnessHere are my top tips for you to intensify and to help support your own teams during these challenging times - the goal being to create conditions where everyone feels lifted to do and be the best version of themselves.1. More regular agenda free 1:1’s testing wellbeing, state of mind and reinforcing the tenets of belonging2. Much more positive feedback, in the moment with examples and recognition shared within the group3 Finding more fun ways to keep everyone informed and involved with deep full consultation often4. More structured communications and update sessions e.g Tuesday at 10 you send out a team update, plus Wednesdays at 2 we all update together5. Discretion at the point of decision-making is particularly important at this time reinforcing why each person’s own judgement is so so important.I would love to hear your own tips on creating happier and more productive teams.
