About This Project
Purpose: This project applies the Loving Workplace Principles to the stages of team development described in the Tuckman Model: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning to create helpful insights and guidance for any team to use to be more loving in their team development process.
Activities:
The team leads volunteers in a monthly working session, guiding people through a process of reflecting and sharing insights, examples, tools and resources through discussion and co-writing.
These inputs are combined with the expertise of the Project Team, who create the content for a guide with resources about how to move through the stages of Team Development with Love.
Outputs: This project is producing a set of guides with insights, tools, and resources for each phase of team development. These are posted on the website for anyone to download and use under Creative Commons licensing.
The working sessions are complete!
Thank you to all who attended and volunteered your time and insights to better understand the intersection and application of the Loving Workplace Principles to the Stages of Team Development.
What’s happening next?
The core team is processing all the content into a set of guides that will be posted on this website and made available freely to anyone to use.
Sign up for our mailing list to receive news of these new guides, other projects you can volunteer for, and other programs from the Center.
