  9. We created a large and diverse CCRT…now what do we do with it?

  10. Barriers to team engagement… • High staff turnover • Power dynamics within the group • Power dynamics outside of the group • Staff burnout • Knowledge and Expertise

  11. Importance of Team Engagement and Self-Reliance • It is the mechanism for sustainability. • People are more likely to carry out work they choose to do. • Engagement provides social support and builds allies. • When team members are engaged, we feel connected to one another and the work. • When one or two people do the work, they are easily scapegoated if something goes wrong. • The job is simply too big for any one or two people to do alone. • Our stakeholders are our information source

  12. Strategies for Engagement • Teams should define the scope of the work. • Team members should articulate how they want to contribute to the work.

  13. Examples of Strategies of Engagement • Storytelling • Three Questions • Onboarding • Cross-training • Art

  14. Quick Talk! In teams of three, discuss: • The sample engagement strategies; • Any experience you may have had with them; and • Other ideas to encourage development of competency and commitment among the CCRT membership.
