Empowering distributed teams - Marty Drill
How do you have a team culture where everyone has a voice? How do you have a culture where people can be themselves and at the same time not adversely impact others? The key to developing a supportive team culture where everyone is heard, lies within allowing the team to decide on what they expect from each other. The team creates how they work together. Social contracts create clear expectations & behavioural norms and an opportunity to contribute. The result is that everyone, regardless of their location, has a sense of belonging & a voice.
