Here is a list that a group I facilitated came up with.

team builidng & leadership - developing team norms and explicit needs for great work (4)

Clarity

 

  • A clear understanding of expectations — “the Goal”;
  • Time and authority parameters (prioritizing);
  • And a little on why/how it fits with the bigger picture.

Independence

 

  • Some freedom to exercise choices, operate with a level of independence on how to proceed with work.
  • And continued opportunities to learn, so that our ability to make good choices is always growing.

Ability to Plan

 

  • We like to be able to plan things out, know as early as possible about projects, to minimize surprises and make things go well. Helps for cross-training/coverage.
  • The more we get things ‘in process’, the easier it is to remain flexible for last minute requests, help others.

Tools

 

  • Being able to predict and gather the supplies needed;
  • Having tools in good working order (computers, printers, copiers, scanners, technology)
