Team Building, Coaching & Mentoring

Leadership in the 21st Century, Week 8 Summary, 5/29/12
Jack Welch Management Institute

1. Teaming - Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing
 *********
This week the highlight for me is the learning that occurred in Team C telecons and email exchanges.
The team members worked intensely and closely to pull together and deliver a top notch report analyzing the Chattanooga Ice Cream Division and making recommendations.

We learned about what it takes to navigate through forming, storming, norming and performing stages.



2. Set up to Fail Syndrome
**********************
The weekly reading in Set up to fail article was strikingly similar to experiences I have seen at work in some instances. Good to see the framework and take interventions to keep team productivity high at work.

3. Executive as a Coach & Mentoring
*******************************
In the executive as a coach article and the mentoring discussion I learned about the avenues for mentoring and when they are applicable and when they are not. In analyzing Mikey vs Kathryn case in Lencioni's Five Dysfunctions of Team, I was able to apply my learning and evaluate the difference between a character driven shortcoming in employee behavior that cannot be easily changed versus a situational one-off driven behavior that may have legitimate reasons wherein patient support may prove fruitful.
