Susan Gerke: Go Team Resources

You can discover more about Susan and her training materials at Go Team Resources.

On a true team, the work is all integrated.

Don’t create guidelines yourself and give them to the team.

A starting point for how to create team guidelines is what did not work well on a previous team.

“The dialogue that happens while team guidelines are being created is almost the highest value thing that happens.” -Susan Gerke

It’s important to have everyone present at a team meeting.

Creating operating guidelines is really foundational work for a team.

If you don’t do these kinds of things for your team, where do you go when you’re struggling?

How to keep it visible:

  • Don’t go past 8 guidelines for a team
  • Have a team rate themselves on each item immediately
  • Assess the same number at regular meetings (monthly and then quarterly)
  • Make changes along the way, but use a structured process
  • Disagreement is the sign of a healthy team

We also mentioned Susan’s business partner David Hutchens, who appeared on episode 148: The Four Stories Leaders Need For Influence
