From: Prof Jagan Mohan Reddy [mailto:drjaganmohanre...@gmail.com] Ten Great Rules of Thumb For Teams * When we meet, let's turn up on time and stick to the important items on our agenda. * If we have problems with the way the team is working, let's share what we think for the benefit of the team. * If you raise a problem, offer your best idea for a solution at the same time. * Respect each other's need for privacy, particularly in the open plan office, and only interrupt when it's urgent. * No sandbagging, always report the truth about the status of our part of the business situation and what we need to be successful. * If we say we'll deliver something on time, then we deliver the completed product by that date or give the team an early warning well ahead of the due date. * Meetings are expensive. We make them productive by setting clear outcomes at the start and recording our agreements in writing. * We don't gossip about each other. If we have criticism of each other, we do it face to face and privately and not by taking sides with other colleagues. * Diversity means growth. We respect and celebrate the benefits we get from differences in gender, race and nationality. * Avoid communication clogging. We send brief emails and voicemails to the people that need them only. The greatest opportunities for growth lie in the minds of leaders and their teams.When leaders recognize their shortfalls and how to control them, compensate for them or cast them out, it ignites the flames of growth and confidence. These newly determined leaders go on to accomplish and inspire their teams through the best use of their strengths, clarity, and attitude. - Dr A Jagan Mohan Reddy Hands that serve are holier than the lips that pray -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BETTER PERSONALITY GROUP" group.
