Define How Your Team Will Work

Most team leaders know to help their team define goals, but the
conversation shouldn't stop there. You also need to agree on the
mechanics of how the team will get the work done. Here are four things
that need to be clear on every team:
Roles and responsibilities. Every member needs to know their tasks and
how their work will contribute to the overall goals.
Work processes. You don't need a notebook full of procedures, but
agree on how to carry out the basics—such as decision-making or
communicating.
Rules of engagement. Establish a constructive team culture. Discuss
the shared values, norms, and beliefs that will shape the daily
give-and-take between team members.
Performance metrics. How will you measure progress? Define the
measures for meeting the goals, and the consequences for not meeting
them.
