Have you ever noticed a team environment where team members are disconnected from one another, routinely criticized, publicly shamed, and punished for their mistakes while their overall contributions are consistently ignored? In such environments, team members gossip about each other, almost never praise or support their teammates, and couldn't care less if their colleagues fail.
This negative and poisonous situation is a common occurrence in many team environments and can lead to unhappy teams, lack of communication and cooperation, low productivity, failed projects, and high turnover rate among other consequences if left untreated.
Kabila Method™ transforms teams by elevating each person through a tribal tradition which teaches us to praise, commend, compliment, and magnify a person's blessings, talents, and good deeds in order to bring out the best in them, specially when they make a mistake.
Various deviations of the word "Kabila" mean tribe in many languages and Kabila Method™ was conceived based on the following tribal tradition.
In an African tribe, when someone makes a mistake or harms others, they place the person in the center and ask the entire tribe to come and surround the person. For two days, they will say to the person all the good things that he has done.
The tribe believes that each human being comes into the world as a good person desiring only safety, love, peace and happiness. But sometimes, people make mistakes. This is when the person needs the most support, to hear all the good things he has done instead of criticism.
When teammates notice and recognize each other's contributions, the gossip and backstabbing are replaced with team collaboration and support which lead to happier and productive teams, successful projects, and high retention rate. Every person goes an extra mile to avoid disappointing their team members who have publicly praised them.
Kabila Workshop™
Team transformation is accomplished with the Kabila Workshop™ which is a team building activity whereby the team showers each team member with gratitude and recognition.
Unlike the tribal tradition, the Kabila Workshop™ doesn't have to last 2 days or only be applied when someone makes a mistake. It can be an ongoing team building activity for positive reinforcement and team collaboration.
The goal is to build strong teams by transforming one person at a time through team compliments.
