Team Leader Commitments

The behaviours proven to accelerate teams and improve business results

As a Team Leader using Squadify, you agree to commit to the following behaviours that have been proven to deliver team acceleration and improved business results.

1. Act as a role model

• Take overall responsibility for the effectiveness of your team, while encouraging shared accountability
• Model the behaviours you want to see — openness, ownership, constructive challenge
• Treat Squadify as part of "how we work", not an optional add-on

2. Partner with your coach

• Engage proactively with your coach via meetings, text, or email — it can be brief yet effective. Answer their emails promptly
• Use coaching support regularly to challenge your thinking and improve outcomes
• Be open to feedback on your own leadership, and give feedback to your coach in a direct and timely way if you want something different from them

3. Build clarity and alignment

• Clearly communicate why the team is using Squadify and what you want to achieve
• Reinforce the team's shared goals and priorities before and after each cycle
• Help the team focus on 1–2 meaningful changes at a time

4. Ensure engagement in the process

• Personally complete the Squadify survey honestly and on time
• Ensure strong participation from all team members
• Encourage open, respectful, and constructive input, including comments

5. Protect psychological safety

• Reinforce that results are aggregated, not individualised
• Create a safe environment where team members feel comfortable being honest
• Lead the way in admitting errors and demonstrating learning
• Respond to feedback with curiosity, not defensiveness

6. Act on insights

• Fully engage in the Team Leader debrief with your coach
• Actively participate in the team debrief session
• Translate insights into clear actions and experiments

7. Maintain momentum

• Run Squadify at a regular cadence, for example a quarterly cycle
• Maintain ongoing check-ins to track progress and remove blockers
• Prioritise a small number of actions rather than trying to fix everything

8. Give the time needed to accelerate the team

• Pre-launch briefing, if applicable
• Survey completion window — around 1 week
• Leader debrief — around 45 minutes
• Team debrief — around 1 hour
• Ongoing check-ins, for example fortnightly touchpoints
