Appropriate leadership
The team trusts the team leader and feels that it is led in an appropriate way.
Support and trust
People help each other by listening, evaluating, offering ideas, encouraging experimentation and giving support.
Openness and conflict management
People express themselves openly and honestly. There is a willingness to work through difficult situations or conflict constructively.
Individual development
‘Mistakes’ are faced openly and used as a vehicle for learning. Individuals are given opportunities to develop new skills and experience.
Positive Interdependence: We instead of me
There is a readiness to be involved and committed. Individuals’ abilities, knowledge and experience are pooled and used by the team. There is acceptance of each others’ strengths and weaknesses.
Individual Accountability/ Personal Responsibility
Each team member must be accountable for their role in the team, there must be an individual commitment to meeting your deadline, doing your fair share of tasks and taking responsibility if you fail to do so.
Regular review
The team regularly reviews its performance and goals and alters its priorities and practice in the light of review.
