Teamwork Guidelines

The success or failure of business projects often depends on how well teams work together.  Here is a concise summary of what makes teams work.

o       All roles including leadership will be clear (roles may vary from meeting to meeting)

o       Norms are set and agreed to (who, what, how, when, where)

o       Objectives are set and communicated – stick to the agenda

o       Individual members work to keep the meetings on track

o       No criticism – evaluations are positive

o       Practice active listening

o       Courtesy is the byword
