Increasing Performance over Time™

Our clients need results and our approach represents a robust framework based on proven methodologies and principles. Our Checkmark for Success™ model looks at every projects STAGE of Development, SERVICE requirement, and GROWTH Strategies to determine the best fit solutions and improvement actions.

When a team is forming, members cautiously explore the boundaries of acceptable group behavior. Like hesitant swimmers, they stand by the pool, dabbling their toes in the water. This is a stage of transition from individual to member status and of testing the leader’s guidance both formally and informally.

Storming can be a very difficult time for a team. It is as if team members jump in the water, and, thinking they are about to drown, start thrashing about. They begin to realize that the task is different and more difficult than they imagined, and they become anxious or overzealous. During this stage members often argue about the approach and actions they need to take. They resist collaborating with other team members.

Members reconcile competing loyalties and responsibilities during this stage. They accept the team, team ground rules (or “norms”), their roles in the team, and the individuality of fellow members. Team members realize they aren’t going to drown, and begin to help each other stay afloat.

Relationships and expectations are settled by this stage. Team members can really begin to perform. They have discovered and accepted each other’s strengths and weaknesses and learned what their roles are. Now they can swim in concert.
