Team norms are shared expectations about how things operate within a group or team. Many times, the teams implement team contracts. This is where the team can articulate and agree on established ground rules, goals, and roles. The contract does not mean everything will be successful but leads the team on the path to a successful start.  

For this discussion assignment, respond to the following questions: 

• If you had the opportunity to lead a team in developing a team contract, what questions would you ask the group? Explain?  
• How would you determine the team members' ground rules, goals, and roles?
