45 minutes with the team

The problem
A new team, a reorganisation, or a year of drift. People are busy, but ask three of them what matters most and you get three answers. Work is duplicated in one place and dropped in another, because nobody wants to tread on toes.
You could write a team charter yourself. It would be yours, not theirs, and it would be out of date in a month.
What you leave with
A plain purpose statement, up to three priorities, named responsibilities, working agreements, and a review date.
The 45 minutes
- 10 minutes
Before the session, one person
Gather the team’s current goal and commitments.
- 8 minutes
Step 1
Everyone writes, quietly, what the team should protect, stop and achieve. Share only what you choose.

Step 2
Agree the purpose in plain words, who does what, and how you’ll communicate and decide.
- 12 minutes
Step 3
Choose no more than three priorities, with a measure for each.
- 10 minutes
Step 4
Name one owner per priority and set the review date.
- 15 minutes
After the session, the owner
At the review date, check what held and bring back anything blocked.
A worked example
Two depot teams merged in the spring. Six people, two ways of doing everything.
- Purpose
- “Get the right materials to site on the day promised.”
- Three priorities
- Same-day picking errors under 2 in 100 orders · one stock count method across both depots by June · every driver query answered within the hour.
- Who does what
- Dan owns picking accuracy. Aisha owns the stock count. Driver queries go to whoever is on the desk, not to “the team”.
- Working agreements
- Urgent means a phone call. The channel is for things that can wait until tomorrow.
- Review, six weeks on
- Keep it. Picking errors are down; the stock count is running late and Aisha has asked for a second pair of hands.
What it doesn't do
It isn’t a strategy offsite and it won’t settle a disagreement about headcount. It gets a team to a short, shared answer they will recognise as their own.
