Building a team where everyone feels valued and is an equal contributor to the project; building on people's strengths and improving weaknesses

Creating space (pauses, silences) for opinions from those who aren't inclined to lead

Everybody feels empowered to share their voice and knows their voice is valued and respected

Everyone feels like they have a stake in getting results and played a role; not marginalized

Fair, just, unified, appreciated, safe

Giving space for people to participate in decision-making process

Having good equipment, tools, and support

Listening before making assumptions, always trying to assume the best intentions

Listening to one another, soliciting perspectives from those not likely to share our own

People feel purposeful in day-to-day roles, work feels fair and achievable

People feel seen, included, treated fairly, and safe to speak up/share opinions

Responsibilities are equitably distributed; people compensated fairly

Space where people feel they know how they belong on the team and process

Team has what they need to do the job within their situation and feel safe
