District teams will be engaged in three ways throughout NPSI: • InformaLon sessions on strategies, structures, accountability, and sustainability mechanisms • Role-‐alike sessions where district administrators will meet with people in similar roles in other districts • Team planning Lme where district teams will have Lme to reflect and work on their own district plan with support from NPSI consultants

TEAM TIME – RULES OF ENGAGEMENT Establish Team Trust

• Commit to keeping conversaLons taking place among team members confidenLal regarding: • Ideas being pursued • Documents produced • Work not authorized to be shared or published

Engage In Honest Conversa9ons

• Honesty and integrity are highly valued ahributes for engendering trust and respect • Lack of honesty is a work stopper/deal-‐breaker for moving forward in our development and future success

Foster A Culture That Enables Every Team Member To Share Their Perspec9ves

• Foster a culture where everybody walks the talk and nobody walks on water. • Foster healthy conflict and debate that ahack the problem, not the person.


TEAM TIME – RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

Acknowledge Dysfunc9onal Behavior

• DysfuncLonal behavior is defined as conduct the majority of group members consider as an impediment to the work.

•  Key Points To Remember: • The more a person tries to protect their domain, the faster you'll lose it. Turf wars quickly deteriorate into dysfuncLonal silo behavior and bunker mentality. It's all bad.

•  Influence without authority or control is the true test of leadership.

Don’t sit on the sideline – get in the game.

• Take responsibility for something. • The team wins when we all play and play by the same rules.
