The Loving Principles Guide Team Development
Is it possible to develop a team with love?
Yes! Our guides show the way.
Download this guide — the first in a series applying the Loving Workplace Principles to Tuckman's stages of team development. This document equips individuals, leaders, organizations, and practitioners with insights, practices and tool ideas to build human-centered teams from the very beginning.
The first guide is: “When Teams Begin: Applying Loving Workplace Principles in the Forming Stage - A Guide for Individuals, Leaders, and Organizations"
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.
Join the next working session!
In May, we will dig deeper into the “Storming” and “Norming” phases of group development, and how to set norms with Love.
Join us Friday, May 22, at 8-9:30 am Pacific.
Email Rick@LovingWorkplace.org or Renee at CEO@LovingWorkplace.org for the Zoom details.
In the session, we will work together:
We’ll discuss: How do the Loving Workplace principles apply to the Storming and Norming stages of the Tuckman Model for Group Development?
We’ll share: Our experiences around the challenges and opportunities we face in these stages.
We’ll gather: Practical tools that can help us live into the principles in these stages.
After the session, the project team will develop a guide that will include your inputs and insights. This will be shared on this website and in other forms.
