Diagnose and Guide Your Team’s Development Stage
from Leading at a Higher Level: Blanchard on Leadership and Creating High Performing Organizations by Kenneth H. Blanchard
How to Apply This
-
Identify Your Team’s Current Stage. Use the four stages—Orientation, Dissatisfaction, Integration, Production—to pinpoint where your team spends most of its time by considering morale, productivity, and behaviors.
-
Provide the Matching Leadership Style. Use Directing/Structuring for new teams, Resolving for conflict, Integrating for trust-building, and Validating for high-performing teams. Adjust your approach as the team evolves.
-
Facilitate Honest Conversations on Team Dynamics. Regularly schedule debriefs where the team reflects on both task progress (what) and process (how), cultivating habits of self-correction and shared leadership.
