First day on the team: a note waits on the desk—“You have the right to say I don’t know.”
Sometimes a few lines are enough to show you, from your first day, what kind of team you are joining: safe to speak up, mistakes allowed, help that comes naturally. This module shows you how to put that climate in writing: rules the team writes itself, and so wants to keep, including a way, agreed in advance, to work through disagreements.
~20 min at your own paceKey skill: Building Team Rules TogetherAvailable in FR + ENNo prerequisites
What you’ll take away
- a two-hour workshop to turn everyday frustrations into shared rules
- some sample charters using action verbs, from punctuality to disconnecting
- the two steps that keep a charter from becoming decoration: signing and revisiting
Who it’s for
Managers and teams who want to set clear ground rules together, with a place for everyone.
Learning objectives
- Explain how the team charter relates to workplace rules: it covers working and getting along well together and puts values into practice.
- Co-create the charter with the whole team, from shared frustrations to action rules, using Cialdini’s principle of commitment and consistency.
- Set out explicit duties and rights, including the right to make mistakes, the right to say no, and how to handle disagreements.
- Keep the charter alive: signing, regular reviews, AI support without letting it do the writing, and watching for the two pitfalls.
