The Neuroscience of Norms: Understanding Collective Patterns of Behavior

Norms in teams grow up around conflict, communication, decision making, trust, innovation, risk taking, accountability, urgency, humor, leadership, etc…  Norms can support or block the spirit of authentic collaboration in teams.

Click HERE to watch a five minute video that reviews the concept of norms and provides an overview of the exercises in handout below. (Excuse the abrupt ending to the video. We had a five minute limit on the screencast software and Terri ran out of time!)  If you’d like a copy of the powerpoint deck we used to make the video click HERE .
