Rules In a Company

Summary

• If a team member acts in a way that's completely unacceptable, keeping them on the team sends a message that certain rules can be ignored.
• Actions that are unethical cannot be tolerated within the team; breaching such fundamental rules undermines their very purpose.
• It's not necessary to have a lot of rules, but the ones that are in place must be enforced strictly.

How To Take Action

I would suggest starting with a clear set of rules for your team. Make sure these rules are simple, not too many, just the really important ones. Stick to what's really needed to work well together and be successful. If someone does something really bad or against these rules, I recommend acting on it right away. This shows everyone that the rules are serious and must be followed.

A good way of doing this is by having regular talks with your team. Remind them of the rules and why they are there. If a problem comes up, don't ignore it. Handle it as soon as you can. This will help keep everyone on the track and show that you're fair and strong as a leader.

If you find someone isn't following the rules, especially if it's something big like being unethical, it's important not to let it slide. Even if it's tough, you might need to remove them from the team. This is important because it protects the trust in your team and the value of your rules. It shows that you mean what you say.

Lastly, always act with fairness. If you need to enforce a rule, make sure you explain why. This helps people understand and respect the rules more. When people see that rules are there for good reasons and that everyone is treated the same way, they will likely follow them better. Remember, it's about having a few rules that everyone takes seriously, and when you do this, your team will know you respect them and the goals you're all working toward.
