As teams progress, they pass through stages of development. You understand that being prepared with tools and techniques at each stage is important. There is a team forming that will take on a production line. You want to be ready to provide training and development resources for this team as soon as they start working together.
You research various team-development models and pick one model that you will use to determine team-building activities before the team members start working together. Develop a plan that addresses the following:
- What will you do to prepare the team for working together before they start?
- Discuss the training and development activities that you will use to build trust and productivity in the group once they start working together.
- How will you measure whether trust exists within the team?
- How will you measure the effectiveness of this new team in each of the early stages of 3, 6, and 9 months of them working together?
