Team Development

Carrie co-created a framework for high performing teams and uses this framework as both a diagnostic and a development model with intact teams.

At the base is Self Awareness: What do we bring to a team- what are our skills, competencies, values, temperament- How do we bring value to the team?

Next is Productive Relationships: How can we work best with others? How do we value other’s skills, and what do we do better together than alone?

Role Clarity: Who does what and are we clear on what each other’s priorities are? Are there gaps in the work that needs to be done? Overlap?

Operating Principles and Agreements: What are our operating norms and agreements? How will we work together?

Aligned Purpose: Unless we are clearly aligned, we are just a group of people working together. What is our vision for our team? Our strategy?

These five components of team development are taught in the context of the Tuckman model (Bruce Tuckman, 1965) on the four phases of team development- Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing.
