Problems Arise with Tiered Huddle Boards

 

Often, when we point out problems, they are not based on facts but rather assumptions or partial knowledge. In huddle board meetings, we see this as one of the biggest downfalls. Someone will point out an issue, presenting it in the huddle, fingers will be pointed, the blame will be assigned, and someone will get upset because “That’s just not how it happened". Little effort is put forth into finding the root of the problem before the problem is presented.

               There are countermeasures to this problem though! Which can be as simple as doing some digging before presenting the issue. No one likes the boy that cries wolf. Finding out the when, where, what, who, and why prior to presenting the issue is very important. In fact, it could save the whole team from a lot of wasted time if you simply do a little investigation before announcing the so-called problem.

               Another way to combat this roadblock would be collaborating with your team regarding the problem. Two heads are better than one, right? In some cases, it’s okay to bring up the issue in the huddle meeting before your deep investigation. But you must preface that the potential problem needs further investigation, and you need the resources of your group to do such a thing. This encourages open communication and collaboration among your team.
