TAKE A MOMENT TO REFLECT BEFORE DISCOVERING

One of the great benefits of having and managing a team agreement is being able to support people to achieve the expectations you set.

Before the module, ponder this:

Reflect on one behaviour you’d like to see more of in your team (or less!).

Reflect on one ‘non negotiable’ that makes you successful as a leader. What is the intent behind it?

These questions will help you apply your personal experience to the below learnings. Have fun.

 

Let’s get started.

AFTER WATCHING

It’s time to think about your game plan and put your learning into practice.

Here are thought starters to get you going:

Do I prefer to create a list of desired behaviours and present this to the team for their feedback or would I like to create this from scratch, collaboratively?

Which of the the ‘ok vs not okay’, ‘non negotiables’ or ‘do vs don’t’ exercises will be most suited to my unique circumstance?

What is one way I can commit as a leader to being clearer in what I expect? Examples: grow my confidence giving feedback, communicate what good looks like, share examples of what decisions I make to get certain outcomes at work.
