Remind: Ground rules (Working Agreement)

• We commit to be honest with each other. If we have a concern, a doubt, a worry, or if we see a problem, we commit to surface it to each other immediately.

• If we are unhappy about something that has happened, or something that the other has done, we commit to surface this immediately to each other.

• We commit not to escalate a problem to upper management without first trying to work it out with each other.

• If an escalation does become necessary, we commit to letting each other know in advance, so it doesn’t catch anyone by surprise.

• We recognize that people make mistakes and have misunderstandings, and that the important thing is to find and fix the mistake or misunderstandings as quickly as we can. For this reason, we commit to each other that there will be no retribution for surfacing a problem or a concern, a mistake or misunderstanding, or for speaking honestly.
