The ability to clearly set expectations is an important leadership characteristic. However it is very common for individuals heading up research laboratories or scientific collaborations to struggle with, or not identify the advantages of, explicitly communicating what they expect of the people working in their lab or participating on their team, not to mention what the participants can expect in return. Here we describe a 'Welcome Letter' as a tool that can be used in the scientific setting to effectively create a framework for working relationships and serve as a scaffold for building trust. The 'Welcome Letter' enables the lab leader to articulate expectations prior to incorporating new members into the group. Scientific teams can use the letter in much the same way, crafting it together to develop a shared vision for the functioning of the collaboration and once crafted, sharing it with new team members.
能够清晰地设定期望是一项重要的领导特质。然而，对于负责研究实验室或科学合作项目的个人来说，明确传达他们对实验室工作人员或团队成员的期望，更不用说参与者能得到什么回报，往往是一件难事，甚至他们意识不到这样做的好处。在此，我们介绍一种“欢迎信”，它可作为一种工具，用于科学环境中，有效地创建工作关系框架，并成为建立信任的支撑。“欢迎信”使实验室负责人能够在新成员加入团队之前阐明期望。科学团队也可以以大致相同的方式使用这封信，共同撰写以形成对合作运作的共同愿景，一旦完成，便与新团队成员分享。
