than expected we will: give that individual a higher

• Everyone else’s rating will subsequently be based off of

the top performers rating and their own personal

contribution to the team

GROUP PROCEDURES/POLICIES

• If a group member performs at a level much lower than expected we will (be specific about what behavior will lead to what actions):

1. If a team member is consistently tardy to team meetings, we will rate them a 4 out of 5 (assuming a 5-point rating scale) on the team rating sheet to reflect their lack of commitment to the team.

2. If members are consistently absent from team meetings without notification, they will receive verbal warnings from the group about the unacceptability of their actions and will not be able to receive anything higher than a 3 out of 5 on their rating sheet.

3. Members who do not actively participate and contribute ideas will also receive verbal warnings (up to three) and after this, a reduction in their evaluation will be given.

GROUP PROCEDURES/POLICIES

through several steps. These

steps will involve the input of

all team members and the

expertise of Dr. Stahl.
