Daily Leader Tip: Team Norms

Team norms are the ground rules that dictate how people interact with each other.

If you don’t have them, people will decide and behave in their own way which can lead to frustration, poor behaviour and inconsistencies in how your team members interact.

What are some of the norms that the team should agree on to ensure the team is effective and cohesive?

Some example team normas you can steal:

  • Actively listening to each other

  • Engage in healthy conflict

  • Use positive and constructive language

  • Celebrate accomplishments

  • Engage and participate

  • Challenge the status quo

  • Speak up if you disagree

  • Assume good intent

  • Feedback helps us grow

  • Our people should be our north star

  • Start meetings on time

  • Each meeting should have an agenda

  • Bring solutions to problems
