25 CHARACTERISTICS OF A HEALTHY TEAM

People talk openly.
Rules make sense—and bend when needed.
No one has to pretend.
Wins are shared. So are losses.
Laughing together is normal.
No one plays the hero. No one plays the victim.
Feedback is clear, not soft or sharp.
Hard conversations happen.
Trust isn’t questioned. It’s felt.
Problems get solved, not ignored.
Mistakes are owned, not hidden.
No one’s too busy to listen.
Everyone pulls their weight.
No one keeps score.
Growth is expected.
Blame doesn’t live here.
Respect is given freely, not earned slowly.
No one is afraid to be wrong.
Work isn’t life.
Space is valued.
No one stops learning.
Consistency beats intensity.
People know when to lead—and when to follow.
Everyone acts like an owner.
The team gets better. Always.

Do I need to do all 25? 

No.

Think of it as a menu, less a checklist.
