GR8 Leaders first understand the ingredients needed to build and maintain teams – interdependency, compelling direction, enabling structure and expert coaching. Next they know how to lead teams through the 5 stages – forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning. Finally, they know how to deal with 5 critical mistakes – unclear outcomes, lack of trust, lack of commitment, lack of accountability, and inappropriate conflict. Above all, they realize that the PROBLEM is always present – each member of the team, including themselves will have a tendency to – flash their ME – or – make everything about them.
