Objective (s): To help teams identify productive interpersonal behaviors.
How the author has used this exercise: I like to use this activity to get a team thinking about how they work together.
Activity Description: Write the following terms on the board: collaboration, collegiality, and cooperation. Have the group discuss how each of the terms are different and how each of the terms works within successful teams. This should set a tone for the development of norms or ground rules of how they want to interact. As a full group, identify seven interpersonal team norms. List them.
