Leadership From The Heart

Your Team Isn’t Inconsistent—You Just Don’t Have Standards


Listen Later

If your team feels inconsistent depending on the day…
it’s not a people problem.

It’s a standards problem.

In this episode, Romie breaks down one of the most overlooked leadership tools:
Team Operating Guidelines (a.k.a. Team Norms).

Because the truth is—
people don’t just “know how to act.”

Without clear agreements, your team will default to:

  • personal preferences
  • unspoken expectations
  • and invisible rules

And that’s where misalignment, frustration, and inefficiency begin.

What You’ll Learn:
  • What Team Operating Guidelines actually are (and why they matter)
  • Why “common sense” isn’t actually common on teams
  • How misalignment shows up in everyday situations (like communication expectations)
  • The simple framework to create alignment without adding more work
  • How to get team buy-in (so you’re not enforcing… they’re owning)
  • Why collaboration—not control—is the key to high-performing teams

Practical Action Step:

Ask your team this one question:
👉 “What are the top 5 things that matter most to you in how we operate together?”

Then:

  • collect responses
  • identify common themes
  • align as a team
  • and commit to them together
