The Rules of the Pool
Working in teams can be great. Except when it isn’t. When petty differences, conflicts and differences in work ethic become a distraction.
The Rules of the Pool is a framework for managers to have a discussion with their teams and create agreed standards around work performance and interpersonal interactions.
When we work in a team, we’re all in it together – we’re all swimming in the same pool. Sometimes people look after the water, but sometimes they do things that taint the pool for everyone.
Rules of the Pool give managers a platform for accountability, and all team members a framework to raise and discuss issues
