Ways of Working-agreement

Create the foundation for the leadership team's success.

Agreed ways of working are essential for a healthy and cohesive team dynamic.

Clear roles, defined responsibilities, well-structured meeting formats, and agreements on how the team interacts and communicates are a must for achieving the team’s goals.

We help you establish these through a process that results in a team agreement, serving as the foundation for the leadership team’s collaboration.

With a Ways of Working-agreement, you get:

Alignment of expectations regarding roles and responsibilities within the leadership group.
A clear foundation for evaluating the quality of the leadership team’s collaboration.
Effective meetings with clear priorities and an agreed agenda to ensure optimal use of time.
Increased execution capability and the development of behaviors that support the company’s goals and purpose.

Examples of content in a Ways of Working-agreement:

What is our purpose as a leadership team?
When are we considered successful?
What are our shared responsibilities, and what are not?
What should characterize our collaboration?
How do we make decisions?
What does the agenda look like for our meetings?
What are the 'ground rules' for our meetings?

A bit more about the phases of the process:

01 Preparation and analysis

Analyses such as the High-Performance Team assessment, personality profiles, and the 5 behavior analysis help us gain a clear understanding of the team’s current collaboration and dynamics.

02 Workshop

During a workshop, we present the results of the analysis, and together we identify the content of your Ways of Working agreement.

03 Ways of Working-agreement

After the workshop, we refine a document with your Ways of Working agreement and make the final adjustments together. It is important to note that this is, of course, a dynamic document that can evolve over time.
