Crafting Team Norms Workshop
A team development workshop focused on expectations, alignment and psychological safety
What is the Crafting Team Norms workshop?
The Crafting Team Norms Workshop is a facilitated team development workshop that helps teams define shared expectations and rules of engagement using a structured, four-step process.
Rather than assuming alignment, teams explicitly identify how they want to work together, creating clarity, consistency and psychological safety.
Why team norms matter
When norms are unclear:
- Expectations vary
- Conflict increases
- Accountability weakens
- Performance declines
This workshop helps teams replace ambiguity with clarity and commitment.
Who is this workshop for?
This workshop is designed for:
• Intact teams experiencing conflict or misalignment
• Teams navigating growth or change
• Groups seeking clearer expectations and accountability
These workshops are built for teams that have already completed an introductory Emergenetics experience (such as Meeting of the Minds or Team Dynamics for Small Groups) and are ready to apply Emergenetics concepts in their day-to-day work.
What participants learn
Participants will:
- Understand the role of team norms in performance
- Identify behaviors that support psychological safety
- Create shared operating norms
- Practice applying those norms in real situations
- Build action plans to sustain alignment
How the workshop works
Through guided discussion and interactive activities, teams:
• Explore current behaviors and expectations
• Align on values and priorities
• Define clear, practical norms
• Commit to ongoing evaluation and improvement
Outcomes for teams and organizations
