How quickly do you trust new colleagues? Do you start at 100% trust and let it erode, or at zero and build it over time?
This 4-part mini-series is all about Incredible Teams. Using the Tuckman Team Dynamics model as inspiration for creating or sustaining great teamwork.
In this episode, we explore the Forming stage of team development and why clarity -not chemistry- is the true foundation of high-performing teams. We look at how trust is built intentionally and why new or re-formed teams need clear direction before momentum.
We discuss the importance of setting a shared destination, defining roles and boundaries, and creating space for honest communication. Because without clarity on purpose and priorities, teams can be busy without being effective.
We share the Z Tool; a simple communication framework to help leaders clearly explain change, align different thinking styles, and set teams up for success.
A practical listen for anyone forming a team, joining one, or pausing to reset direction. If teamwork is a journey, start strong by setting the satnav to success.
