3. Agenda
- Team contract agreements
- Habit as an instrument
- Team habits on practice

4. Agreements are the behavioral norms that create and
maintain the team dynamic: they help team members
understand what they can expect of each other, and
how to hold each other accountable.
Cultivate team cohesion and a sense of belonging by
leading your team in a workshop to articulate their
agreements
Team Agreements

of the agreement

It aims to serve as a simplified way of analysing the potential success or failure of a change initiative within the workplace
D*V*F>>R
DISSATISFACTION(D)
with the current state (of
whatever the focus of
change might be)
clear and
shared
VISION(V) of a
preferred future

STEPS(F) Roadmap

Vision

15. As you may have guessed:
Team habits = Team agreements * habits
Team Habits Guide
So let me please share with you how we built team
habits in our processes!

16. But this!
I started with a proposal
Not this one ^_^ TODOs I see
TODOs that were
raised by team
Everybody can add
new item anytime
Any item should be
transparent to anyone
Goal can be big, but habit(s)
should be small!

17. In
Out
Team Habits
Then we’ve aligned the process
“Out” is for items from
the Proposal list that
were rejected by whole
forum
Or for the items that
were rejected after
integration failure
(maybe new one was
created instead)
Items that failed but we
want them - needed to
discuss
Items we’ve
successfully
integrated and proud
of :)
Items we are integrating
right now

18. Diderot effect ^_^
On the final stage we’ve integrated this flow
in our life
We had a dedicated 15 mins in scope of the retro
meeting to synchronize on the progress
We used Daily meetings to synchronize on
relevant day-to-day habits
We had dedicated reminders in calendars &
automated notifications in messengers

19. - We want to have a clear understanding inside the team
a. Maybe you should turn on auto reply and change the status to OOO, if there is a holiday or vacation?
b. Should we limit a time for responding to people in different situations?
c. Should I somehow inform people that I'm busy right now and it’s better not touch me?
d. Maybe you should inform people in advance about the need for help or advice?
- We want to become better in communication
a. Maybe it's worth forming an agenda for meetings and writing follow-ups afterwards?
b. Maybe you should have a common communication and not address issues in personal
correspondence?
c. Do we want to turn cameras on?
d. Maybe we should decide when we start the working communication, and especially when we
finish?
e. Should we have meetings 55mins & 25mins?
- We want to be better in work with stories
a. Should we use templates for stories?
b. Should we create tasks under the stories?
So what items we’ve raised?

20. Active listening
Service Consultancy state
of mind
Servant leadership Empathy
Openness Positive mindset
Patience & enthusiasm in experiments
Flexibility & Adaptiveness
As a leader I need to have…
