CHAPTER SEVEN

STAGE TWO, CONTINUED: TURNING A CONSULTING GROUP INTO A TEAM

A full treatment of the issue of teams and team building is beyond the scope of this book, but this chapter provides a basic set of models, steps, and skills needed to turn a group into a team. We examine:

  • The definition of a team
  • The stages of group development that end in a team
  • Behavior that helps or hinders team development
  • Diagnosing group and team problems
  • Project leader style and actions that help group members become a team

Appendix E provides an overview of various diagnostic procedures and instruments that can be used in team development.
