Building Trust
Please find a seat with your team (look for your team flag). If you don’t know your team, talk to Jen.

Teaming Meeting Norms
This is a safe place for teaming; all ideas are worth consideration

Use technology to enhance learning online shopping = inappropriate
Taking notes = appropriate
Cell phones silenced = very appropriate
Your participation is needed; please engage in teaming and put away classroom work
Everything we do here should reflect our commitment to providing for the academic success of every student.
The Five Functions of a Successful Team
TrustBuilding…
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni
Team-Work (aka Homework for Teams)
o What was your team goal from our last meeting?
o Did your team complete your goal?
o If so, GREAT! What did you learn from it?
o If not, why not? What can you do to have it completed by the end of the day? Trust
Team Roles
Please take a 2-3 minutes to review each person’s role on your team. There is a form to fill out if you would like to have a written copy.
Getting to Know Your Teammates
Hometown Number of kids in family Interesting childhood hobbies Biggest challenge growing up First job
Remember, we want to hear about your life as a child, but we’re not interested in your “inner child”.

Invulnerability
Demonstrate Vulnerability
Please spend 5 minutes deciding what you believe is your single biggest strength and weakness in terms of contribution to your team’s success or failure.
Members of teams with an absence of trust… Conceal their weakness and mistakes from one another
Hesitate to ask for help or provide constructive feedback
Hesitate to offer help outside their own areas of responsibility
Jump to conclusions about the intentions and aptitudes of others without attempting to clarify them
Fail to recognize and tap into one another’s skills and experiences
Waste time and energy managing their behaviors for effect
Hold grudges
Dread meetings and find reasons to avoid spending time together
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni
Members of trusting teams…
Admit weakness and mistakes
Ask for help
Accept questions and input about their areas of responsibility
Give one another the benefit of the doubt before arriving at a negative conclusion
Take risks in offering feedback and assistance
Appreciate and tap into one another’s skills and experiences
Focus time and energy on important issues, not politics
Offer and accept apologies without hesitation
Look forward to meetings and other opportunities to work as a group

Avoid Office Politics and Gossip
With your team, read When Nice Won’t Suffice. Afterwards, discuss the following questions.
How do we avoid the “culture of nice” in our inter disciplinary teams? Our department teams? Our school?
What are your team member’s policies regarding late work, absent work, ZAP work? What’s similar? What differences exist? Should they be the same for the entire team? Does it matter?
Team-Work (aka Homework for Teams)
Create a list of NORMs for your team meetings for next year. What needs to occur to have a good meeting? What needs to be avoided? Make sure that every team member has access to a copy of your NORMs.
