  10. Guiding Principles • No “bashing” of each other or our colleagues across the University • Strive to create greater transparency through open, honest and ongoing communication • Provide real time feedback directly to colleagues when we have a difference of opinion, and not with others behind their back.   • To the extent possible, this will be done face to face, rather than by email • Agree to disagree not an option – no pocket veto • Productive dissent manifests itself as an improved proposal

  11. Team Expectations • Honor Time – Arrive on time for meetings, end meetings on time • Be Present - Active listening and participation, scan for participation and actively encourage team members to participate • Humor is Welcome – Have fun! • Electronic Technology Courtesy – All laptop, iPad, phone, etc. use should be directly related to the meeting (it is understood by the nature of our jobs in IT that people may need to take an urgent phone call during a meeting) • All ideas and points of views have value • Use common conversational courtesy (i.e. don’t interrupt or speak over someone else) • Bringing lunch to the meetings is acceptable • At the start of each meeting, there should be an announcement about who is capturing notes from the meeting • It is understood that not everyone will be able to make every meeting. You are responsible for getting caught up and making sure someone can represent your views at the meeting. • No side conversations • Report related conversations that happen outside of the group back into the group • Don’t reply-all on messages if it isn’t necessary for the whole recipient list to receive the message
