Team Development: Team Forming

Here, with the help of my daughters, I discuss the Tuckman Model and Schwarz's Eight Behaviors to a Smarter team as below and the role into team formation. The Eight Behaviors to a Smarter Team: 1. State views and ask genuine questions 2. Share all relevant information 3. Use specific examples and agree on what important words mean 4. Explain reasoning and intent 5. Focus on interests, not positions 6. Test assumptions and inferences 7. Jointly design next steps 8. Discuss undiscussable issues.
