How can you tell if your team is on the path to high performance or stuck in dysfunction? In this episode of Connecting the Dots, Ryan Gracyalny and Steve Tech continue the Red Flag Series, breaking down the stages of team development and the red flags that signal trouble. 🚩 Forming Gone Wrong – When leaders are too hands-off or too controlling, setting teams up for failure. 🚩 Dysfunctional Storming – When conflict is avoided, or worse, festers beneath the surface. 🚩 Toxic Norms – When teams establish unhealthy ways of working, leading to imbalance and resentment. 🚩 Underperforming Teams – When results suffer due to either relentless focus on numbers or over-prioritizing harmony. Using the Tuckman Model of Team Development, Ryan and Steve explore how teams evolve—and what HR/OD leaders and consultants can do when things go off track. Whether you're coaching a struggling team or leading workplace transformation, this episode provides actionable insights to turn dysfunction into growth. 🎧 Listen now to learn how to diagnose your team’s red flags and guide them toward success!
