A Team Charter May Promote Team Commitment

Create a team charter with your team because a team charter can help focus on your purpose.

Include the overall purpose of the team, your key customers, the key results areas, guiding principles, and team milestones.

If you are a team leader, spend some time brainstorming the possible content of your team charter before you present it to your team.

It takes an hour or two to build a team charter. some members who are “busy” with work resist doing this activity.

Study how you can communicate the benefits of having a team charter to your team. They need to own your team charter for it to be truly useful.

Build teams better.
