We began the process pause by laying out the ground rules for interaction during the meeting. This helped us in adopting a growth mindset and being open-minded about hearing feedback, helping to work through the inevitable difficult conversations we would face.

In order to improve the richness of our communication, we have created a Facebook Messenger group chat to supplement the group page we had already created. This group chat provides our team with a medium that has a high media richness, allowing for effective communication.

We, the members of Chester F73524, believe that these changes will improve our group climate and improve our overall team effectiveness, positively contributing to our future
