Team Norms and Agreements
Team Norms and Agreements
In a classroom, first I ask my students what they expect of the teacher, then I compare that list to one of what I expect of them, agreeing that the lists are identical, sometimes with a few adjustments to a more general wording. We focus on positive wording, such as "Allow public speaking," instead of "Don't interrupt others."
This technique I also apply to management, so that it is easy to:
Establish expectations
Refer back to those expectations
Set limits on scope of work and behavior
Ensure a healthy Workplace Culture
Set boundaries for Appropriate Forms of Play
Setting Goals for Social Interactions
Setting Goals for Social Interactions
Whether we utilize a tool such as FISH! or Growth Mindset, as a manager, I can teach and follow concepts for a healthy and thriving workplace culture
