Want to prevent conflicts before they start? Does everyone on your team have a different vision? Maybe you need a team charter!? This course will walk your whole team through seven workshops to create a team charter to improve collaborations, bolster productivity, and improve your overall team experience.
What to expect
Each section of the team charter includes an instructional video, asynchronous prompt, and a synchronous prompt.
- The instructional video provides literature and background information. The video is designed to be watched individually, on your own time, before the team tackles the synchronous prompt.
- The asynchronous prompts are designed to help each team member reflect and brainstorm individually before the team tackles the synchronous prompts. Like the name implies… the asynchronous prompt is designed to be complete individually, on your own time, before the team tackles the synchronous prompt
- The synchronous prompts is to be completed by the whole team. These are designed to be completed during one team meeting.
- After each meeting, designate one person to fill-in a section of the team charter until you have all eight components.

- Finding Joy
