Workshop XXXIV Stages of Team Development
Location: Harvard Kennedy School, Wexner Common Areas, Room G02
Date and Time: Tuesday, October 22nd, 2019 from 6:00 - 8:30 PM
What explains the fact some teams seem to be so collaborative and at ease with one another, while other seem to be at war? Why do some team members think they are the only ones who can do something right, while other teams are full of trust in one another? And, why is it some teams accept what they are told to do - even when it makes no sense - while other teams will question and push back on direction until the best course of action is found?
In this workshop, we will explore what drives these and other differences in team culture and behavior. Using Adult Development Theory and the framework presented in Dave Logan's Tribal Leadership, we'll look at how to assess a team's stage of development by listening to their language and sense-making. We will also map these two models to each other to see how individual development shows up in teams.
