Working Agreements from TrustTemenos Academy
To work effectively, we want focus as much of our time and attention on the work. Emotional reactions – unless they are part of the work itself – can distract us, reduce presence and be a source of waste – in Temenos just as well as in any team. A typical source of unwanted emotions are disappointed expectations. We greatly reduce the likelihood of disappointment when we make clear agreements.
These are working agreements we created in a recent block of TrustTemenos Leadership Academy. Use them to agree in your team or Temenos what’s working for you.
