Forming

Storming

Norming

  • Norms are the standards or ground rules that develop in a group that control the behavior of its members.
  • They usually express beliefs or desires of the majority.
    What “should” and “should not” be said/done.
  • They have behavior as their principal focus, to ensure compliance, even if reluctantly.
    Sanctions exist for those who violate whatever the norms of the group are.
  • Can be implicit or explicit, and may be unconscious

Notes:

  • A change in norms changes the culture of the group.
  • Group norms can facilitate or hinder group process.
  • Norms of a group evolve, and are difficult to impose by force or external authority.

Performing

  •  cf.: High Performance Organization

  • Leaders create vision by communicating a compelling future to their teams.
  • Teams create success based on how effectively the communicate and coordinate with each other.
  • Entrepreneurial ventures are successful only when they communicate value to people with a concern that the business can take care of
In all cases, it’s about Conversations for Committed Results.  That’s our Primary Goal.
