• Analyze the two team charters you located for their effectiveness in helping a team organize quickly for success and avoid derailment. Based on your analysis, provide details on how the charters would contribute to a team's success. Be sure to include a copy of the team charter examples you located. Note: These examples will not count toward your total page count.
• Design your own first draft of a team charter for your chosen team, being sure to address the following:
  • Describe the mission or purpose of the team.
  • Identify three to five specific and measurable goals or outcomes that collectively define success for the team in terms of fulfilling its mission.
  • Provide the names (disguised) of team members, describe their official team roles (if any), and indicate the key strengths of each team member in terms of their functional skills and knowledge, as well as their work style and approach.
  • List specific and behavioral ground rules that team members are expected to abide by in their work together and explain how violation of any of these ground rules will be handled within the team.
  • Outline the team's approach to resolving conflicts that may arise as the team works together.
• As a final part of the Draft Team Charter, include an Appendix (to be provided only to your manager) that includes the following:
  • Based on your assessment of the members of the team and their strengths, skills, and work styles/approach, explain two or three strategies you plan to use to further develop the team and its members.
  • In addition, because your manager is also concerned with ensuring a strong and viable leadership pipelineor overall "bench strength" in the succession planpropose three specific actions you will take in the next 2-3 months as first steps in choosing and mentoring your successor as leader of this team.
    • Consider how you will choose the individual (what qualities will you look for?), how you will first propose the mentoring relationship, and what that first mentoring meeting might look like.
  • Defend your rationale for selecting the specific goals, ground rules, and approaches to conflict resolution you drafted for the team, including how these guidelines will help the team develop and meet those goals. As part of your response, note any potential risks or challenges you may face as you implement the team charter, as well as what approach you will take to manage those challenges.
