3 Team Charter Purpose Teamwork and coming together as a team is one of the most basic necessities that virtually any company requires to be successful. A key component to teamwork is a clearly defined understanding of what is expected from all members of the team. A tool that can be instrumental in assisting with those expectations is a team charter. A team charters provide a framework by defining the scope and organizing strategies to drive an effective team (Norton & Sussman, 2016). This is important as it aligns all efforts of each team member and creates list of goals. This becomes the “path” for the team to reach project completion as a more collaborative effort. Without a clear “path” and understanding of what is expected of each team member, their efforts will be significantly less effective due to a lack of cohesion. Imagine a team rowing a boat, but they are all rowing at different times and trying to go different directions. Without a clear path outlining where the boat needs to go, and how the team must row to get there, it is unlikely the boat will ever reach its desired location. Furthermore, a team charter clearly defines the expected results from the group, outlines the roles and responsibilities of all members, and sets the rules team members should abide by. A team charter is instrumental in providing transparency, encouraging cohesiveness, and improving a group’s overall productivity. A team charter is also a tool for accountability. With a clear outline of what is expected, all team members are agreeing to abide by that outline. Thus, when a team member falls behind from the expectations that were set, it leaves little room for excuses and makes it clear when an individual needs to raise their own personal standards to match the standards set forth in the charter. Within a standard in-person team-based function a team charter is helpful for these reasons. These reasons are compounded and amplified due to the distance and lack of oversight Athleisure Apparel LLC. – Efficiently and effectively providing comfort and style at an affordable price

4 that comes with working remotely and virtually. There is no boss or co-worker down the hall or in an adjacent cubical that will stop a team member from spending too much time on their phone or on social media. There is no presence of a highly motivated atmosphere or the hustle and bustle of a busy office reminding each team member that work is needing to get done. There is a significantly diminished presence of competition while working virtually. That is why the team charter has even more of an impact in a virtual setting. It is an agreement each team member was involved in and ensures there are clear standards to be met in between each team meeting. The charter is the boss down the hall or the presence of competition that is missing. It is there to push and hold each team member accountable by ensuring there is no hiding from expectations and performance standards.
