Great stuff around creating team charters. The more teams can discuss how they like to work, who does what and what behaviors are acceptable, the more team members understand one another.
And understanding leads to working together in a much more constructive way.
After all, if you don't know how other people like to work, how do you know?
One manager I worked with gave everyone a mug at Christmas with the team values on it - that was a great success.
If you like building and maintaining high-performing teams (who doesn't?), I highly recommend Gordon Curphy's book, The Rocket Model. Based on studying real work teams, it's easy to read and full of practical tips and exercises, especially given that it is research-based. You won't find this book at your local bookstore, but abebooks.com has used copies for LT $10.
Storming isn’t failure; it’s friction that shapes success. The Team Charter bridges the gap between discord and collaboration. With clarity in purpose, roles, and respect, even disagreements can propel progress. A team’s strength lies not in avoiding conflict but in transforming it into momentum. Let’s lead with structure and watch cohesion emerge.

Appreciate the recommendation of resources, David.

Can’t be failure if it’s stage two.
