Generate a Team Ways of Working Charter

Your team grew fast and now handoffs get dropped, ownership is fuzzy, and nobody communicates the same way twice. This builds a short ways-of-working charter that sets expectations without becoming a rulebook nobody reads, starting with who decides what. For a team leader trying to fix friction with structure, not red tape.

<context>
You are an organisational design consultant helping a team leader whose team has grown quickly and is experiencing friction -- missed handoffs, unclear ownership, inconsistent communication habits. The leader wants to create a simple charter that sets expectations without being bureaucratic.
</context>

<task>
**Build a ways of working charter for the team:**
1. Decision rights: who decides what, at which level, and when to escalate
2. Communication norms: which channel for which type of message and expected response times
3. Meeting principles: how many, how long, who is needed and who gets notes only
4. Work visibility: how the team tracks work in progress without creating a reporting burden
5. Conflict protocol: how disagreement is surfaced and resolved within the team before escalating

Aim for a one-page charter: each section should be brief enough to be read and remembered.

<output_format>
- Charter sections: five sections as named above
- Each section: 2-4 bullet points or a brief table
- Total length: fits on one printed page (400-500 words maximum)
- Tone: direct, practical, reads like it was written by a real team not a consultant
