Ground Rules
In the crazy, complex business of community collaboration , any person or group has the power to derail the process. Adopting a code of conduct – where everyone’s roles and responsibilities are understood and agreed upon from the beginning – keeps projects on track and creates the conditions for collective creativity.
CIVILITY:
- Share airtime: Everyone participates; no one is allowed to dominate.
- Assume that together we know more: Work to understand the assumptions, opinions, and the ideas of others.
- Reject the culture of blame: Be tough on ideas, gentle on people.
- Put yourself in someone else’s shoes: Represent those not present.
INQUIRY:
- Open your ears and your mind: Listening is NOT just waiting your turn to speak.
- Do your homework: Understand the problem and its history.
- Look for common solutions, then commit to them.
- Seek the community’s highest good for both present and future.
CREATIVITY:
- Forge Multiple Victories: The best ideas solve more than one problem at a time.
- Explore unconventional approaches: New conditions demand new solutions.
- Turn opposition into proposition: Instead of fighting a weak idea, come up with a better one.
- Transform differences into gifts: Arguing over the differences among us wastes money, time, resources, goodwill, and talent. Exchanging ideas with others leads to greater insights, and more inclusive, creative solutions.
- Change your mind in light of new information: Do your part to create an atmosphere where meetings are about discovery and collaboration, not platforms for convincing others that your idea is king.
- Maintain the balance between heart and mind, knowledge and intuition, expertise and passion.
