I recently went through a Boy Scouts Adult Training called Wood Badge.
The most important thing I learned there was a Team Dynamics study, reportedly used by the DoD, which was distilled into four words:
Forming
Storming
Norming
Performing
What blew me away was that I could literally see this happening right in front of my eyes with a small team of kids who I was coaching for an FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) Robotics competition.
I finally understood the team dynamics and realized that I am not the only one experiencing it and it was not an anomaly.
Oh boy, that's a huge piece of teambuilding training throughout the military. It's a good description of how new teams form. Unfortunately most teams don't get past the storming phase.
