Facilitating Group Meetings
-
Many types of groups benefit from having a charter. Why is that? A research study demonstrates that teams with charters are better positioned to adapt to disruptions, which in turn enhances their performance. A team charter can provide continuity, or a baseline, when (a) members exit and new members join the team, or (b) members change their role in a team. Read the study: Sverdrup, T. E., Schei, V., Tjolsen, O. A. (2017). Expecting the unexpected: Using team charters to handle disruptions and facilitate team performance. Group Dynamics: Theory, Research, and Practice, 21, 53-59. doi:10.1037/gdn0000059
