Fast Start Team Development Process
Teamwork doesn't happen overnight nor does it happen by accident. Every project team, executive team, or Board of
Directors experiences common stages of team development with many predictable and manageable “getting started”
issues. Working together early on to address these core team issues will improve the working relationships within the
team and determine its overall success. Team building is a key component of the “real work” and should not be treated
like a separate activity. Effective team development ensures that the right things happen by design, not by chance.
- Provide consultation and confidential coaching to executive or team leaders about
the basic elements of effective team building.
- Facilitate team meetings to help get through the “storming” stage successfully.
- Guide the team in defining its purpose, roles, responsibilities and reaching
agreement on ground rules.
- Supply the team with personality assessment instruments and other tools to help
understand personal styles and differences and their impact on the dynamics
within the team.
- Coach the team to develop decision-making and problem solving skills and other
team processes to help prevent and resolve conflict.
- Guide the team to set goals and develop action plans in order to implement
strategic plans.
