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.
