Most of the programs we deliver deal with leadership teams and leadership development, so we understand the critical need companies have for guidance in this area.  This article provides some great information as you plan to develop your leaders. Enjoy! 

Dr. Bruce Tuckman

Recently we did a deep dive with a client on the stages of her team’s development.  We used an activity called interdependency or “the Quantum Puzzle” to illustrate how her team can progress through stages and what happens when change is introduced.

Dr Meredith Belbin

What I like most about Dr. Belbin’s approach is that he doesn’t subscribe to the generic use of the word team to describe work groups.  He also doesn’t believe that scavenger hunts, boat building and culinary types of events are great for the social aspect of group development, and should not be considered “team building.”

Dr. Katherine Benziger

Many of us have read or even operate and facilitate around the same community of authors and team/leadership experts.  We all know and either like or dislike the work of Blanchard, Covey, Lencioni and Kouzes and Posner.  We enjoy the personality dynamics presented by Jung, Myers Briggs, Eysenck, and other personality theories. But the month of December we will dedicate to some of intellectuals who may not be as well known in the area of team and leadership development.  Experts like Dr. Katherine Benziger.

Put Superman out of a Job!

All of us remember how Superman could save the day.  While our author, Dr. Henry Cloud, is not suggesting we become full-fledged Supermen or Superwomen, he does present a few ideas that would play well for today’s leaders.
