  Specific to TeamFacilitator • Forming - Direct the team, and establish clear objectives, both for the team as a whole and for individual team members. Establish Team Structure and NORMS • Storming - Establish processes and structures. – Teach TWI-JR – Build trust and good relationships between team members. – Resolve conflicts, swiftly if they occur. – Provide support, especially to those team members who are less secure. – Remain positive and firm in the face of challenges to your leadership, or to the team's goal. – Explain the "forming, storming, norming, and performing" idea, so that people understand why problems are occurring, and so that they see that things will get better in the future. – Coach team members in assertiveness and conflict resolution skills, where this is necessary. – Use psychometric indicators such as Myers-Briggs and the Margerison-McCann Team Management Profile to help people learn about different work styles and strengths. • Norming - Step back and help team members take responsibility for progress towards the goal. (This is a good time to arrange a team-building event.) • Performing - Delegate tasks and projects as far as you can. Once the team is achieving well, you should aim to have as light a touch as possible. You will now be able to start focusing on other goals and areas of work. • Adjourning - Take the time to celebrate the team's achievements – you may work with some of your people again, and this will be much easier if people view past experiences positively. 6
