Reflection is Key: Just like you need to reflect on your wardrobe choices, teams need to reflect on their professional norms. No one wants to be that person still wearing neon leg warmers in 2023!
Feedback is the Secret Sauce: Feedback isn't just for chefs. Team members should serve it up regularly to ensure everyone's on the same page—preferably without the drama of a reality TV show.
Meetings: The Necessary Evil: Schedule regular meetings to review norms. Think of them as mandatory family dinners, where everyone politely pretends they love Aunt Edna's mystery casserole (but secretly discuss the team's norms).
Spotting Norm Violators: It's essential to recognize when team norms are being followed—or ignored. Like a hawk watching its prey, only less creepy and with more coffee involved.
Permanent Fixture: For norms to stick, they have to become a part of the team's culture. Just like the "one sock in the dryer" mystery—some things are just meant to be part of your life.
School Clubs Matter: If you want your school club to thrive, keep reflecting on what's working. Think of it as making sure your group's vibe is more 'cool cats' and less 'awkward penguins.'
Growth: The Ultimate Goal: Consistent reflection can turn your club from a ragtag group of misfits into a well-oiled machine—or at least a slightly less squeaky one.
