Ground rules provide teams with guidelines and a common set of procedures by which to operate.

"The wider the point of view or the wider the diversity, the more effective the team can be. But for this to happen, people have to learn to see each other as equals, and that's not easy." Men talk over women, she says. Whites expect that people of color communicate the same way they do. People with accents are assumed to be less qualified; older employees, less creative; workers with disabilities, less capable.

TEKS #27 D & EPromoting appreciation and understanding of diversity in teams at work/ school • But diversity issues go way beyond obvious physical differences to include differences in communication styles, problem solving, professional experience, functional expertise, management level, training and education, and work ethics.
