Credo #1: Time To Stop Developing Teams as if It Were 1965
We’ve moved on from sticky notes.
Organizations and the world they operate in have moved on.
In recent years, the fields of leadership and talent have drawn the lion’s share of organizational attention and research. Teams have been left behind. We still base team development on theories from the 1950s and '60s. Those concepts made sense in their day but organizations and the world they operate in have moved on. Experts have been telling us for decades that teams develop in stages. Stages made sense when teams were grouped together in factories or offices, separated by hallways not continents. What’s more, stage-based models assume that team development is linear. In today’s volatile, uncertain and remote-working world we can’t count on anything being that predictable. It doesn’t matter when a team was formed or how much time they spend physically together: there’s work to be done and people must work together to do it. What’s needed are approaches that focus and energize diverse groups of smart, driven individuals no matter what their history together. Based on 8 years of research, development and practice with one of the world’s premier global companies, we have just such an approach. We’re ready to share it with you and your organization.
