Your attention will be drawn to several existing documents relating to and used by the ALAC, including the ICANN Bylaws, ALAC Rules of Procedure, ALAC wiki space, ALAC and At-Large web pages. ❏ Then referring to your prepared talking points we will review and discuss some of the key questions to seek some consensus on the ‘best answers’ as we develop our ‘top-notch team’.
❏ After general discussion of these basics we will focus on a few specific steps that can increase our productivity and effectiveness: Here are five steps to building a productive and effective team this coming year: ➢ Step 1: Establish our leadership and communication ‘styles’. ➢ Step 2: Establish workable relationships between each of you. ➢ Step 3: Build relationships between you, and your primary ‘work units’ (your Regions and other parts of ICANN you will need to engage with. ➢ Step 4: Foster teamwork. ➢ Step 5: Set ground rules and expectations. |
