Intrinsic First Season 1 Episode 23

In episode 23 of the Intrinsic First Leadership Podcast, we delve into the intricacies of team dynamics, exploring the phases of team performance and the complexities of leadership within teams. We discuss the challenges of navigating through forming, storming, norming, and performing stages, drawing parallels between our experiences and established models like Courvoisier's stages of team development.

Throughout the conversation, we touch upon various references, including the work of Paul Hersey and Ken Blanchard on situational leadership, and the complexities of applying such models empirically. We emphasize the importance of understanding team processes, assessing team dynamics, and leveraging frameworks to navigate the complexities of leadership effectively.

Additionally, we explore the role of leadership in guiding teams through challenging phases, addressing process and product issues, and fostering a supportive environment for optimal performance. Our discussion highlights the significance of continuous assessment, effective communication, and strategic decision-making in nurturing high-performing teams.
