Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Teams are complex relational systems. Effective team functioning depends on members will ingness to coordinate and work together. Ground rules play a fundamental but frequently nored role in this process. We define ground rules as the mutual agreements informally established by members to regulate team functioning. These agreements may ubsequently be rendered formal or explicit. The nature and functions of ground rules (including as social- normative tools for handling paradoxes) are discussed, as well as the forms/types they assume. Rules for setting ground rules, as well as the role team leaders may play in facilitating the emergence of effective ground rules are also considered.
