SOME CONCLUSIONS ABOUT THE TEAM SELF-DEVELOPMENT PROCESS • It is self-determined: The Team Leader and team members define the team they need and want to be part of • No standard formula or recipe is best for a team. Each team is custom shaped • The team behavior now in place has been influenced by: the team’s own internal culture; reward systems in the organization;and the total system culture and its behavioral norms
TEAM SELF-DEVELOPMENT PROCESS (continued) • Teams learn certain processes to enable them to build a team • Teams have more than enough talent to best deal with their own issues • Team development is a discovery process • It is done best by working on real team problems and issues (goals, priorities, a specific project) and analyzing the approaches being used—and, desired changes in those
TEAM SELF-DEVELOPMENT PROCESS (continued) • Team development is a “Process” not a recipe—you must trust the process; teams usually don’t know what they most need until deep in the development process • Teams must nurture and re-invent themselves regularly or they revert quickly to old ways • Trust, openness, and candor are pre-requisites for team self-development—these are indicators that a team is moving toward a high level of development
TEAM PLANNINGIdentify the top ranking person on the team and major function of the team and address questions below • My role in the team development effort is? • What are the major team issues right now? • Who most wants the team to improve? • What changes (recent or expected) most impact the team?
