“There is no ‘I’ in Team,” is an old motivational saying. However if everyone on a team fails to commit to a personal follow-through action, then the team has failed. In other words, at the end of every meeting each team member should be clear about what “I” am going to do.

“Be clear what is public information and what is company-only discussion.”

All too often, meeting discussions end up in headlines, or online chat-rooms. If you mean for your comment to be public, let others know. And, when you mean for a comment to “stay in the room” or “inside company walls,” communicate that clearly too.
