"Shirley is an excellent facilitator.
When facilitating our team, her ability to remain impartial keeps everyone
on track. Her ability to facilitate a productive meeting better utilizes
everyone's time."
- Call Center Manager
"Shirley's energy and enthusiasm are
excellent examples for the rest of us. I have seen many occasions when
Shirley was able to get a group moving just because of the enthusiasm she
showed on the topic at hand. That is very contagious."
- Leadership Training Manager
"If I had to pick the people who have had
the most impact on the support team, Shirley would be at the top of the
list. Through Shirley's leadership, team was able to set goals, adopt an
organizational structure, and prioritize a list of action items."
- PC Support/Service
Representative
"There are very few team specialists
and Shirley is one of the best. Her influence impacts all of the teams
through her training material designs and alternative learning techniques."

In a Group
Processes and Work Teams survey done by Lawler, Mohrman & Ledford of Fortune
1000 companies over a 10-year period, it was discovered that the use of
problem solving teams increased from 70% to 90%. Also the use of
self-managed teams in companies grew from only 27% to 78%.
Do you think work teams are
still useful in the companies where you work?
Answer in the POLL mentioned in
the blog post after you follow Read More link from Timely Tip below.
My most popular on-line
team-building article is "The Five Stages of Team
Development". Why do you think that is? I think it may be because
most people are familiar with the first 4 as defined by Tuckman’s teamwork
theory: Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing.
However most do not realize that as he studied teams, he found many teams
begin to slump sometime after the performing stage. This may be because
they became complacent about their success, got too far away from the
learning gained at the beginning, or no longer felt as valuable to the
compnay as in an earlier stage. Tuckman called this phase Transforming for
continuing teams and Adjourning for teams that needed to be discontinued. I
also like Quick’s term for stage 5 – Assimilating or Reforming.
Either way, the
primary emphasize from the experts for phase 5 is to show thanks to the
disbanding team via a celebration or to use recognition to rejuvenate and
motivate the continuous work team.
