One of my favorite organizational models is Tuckman’s Stages of Team Development. He identified that Teamwork can be measured within Stages of Development, each determined by the cohesiveness of understood and accepted rules, expectations, and changes in leadership. We observe fragmentation, frustration and resistance, accepting new performance metrics and leadership style, leading to optimized out-put and performance, and at some point, another cycle of change.
The upside to constant change is growth, the downside, that change can be hard. We have to embrace change in order to remain a top-performing and open-access economy and the benchmark of global freedom. However long we Storm with each other delays our Performance. Getting angry is normal; wanting to destroy is human. However understandable and justified, we are only hurting ourselves.
“In a composite Nation like ours, made up of almost every variety of the human family, there should be, as before the Law, no rich, no poor, no high, no low, no black, no white, but one country, one citizenship, equal rights and a common destiny for all. A government that cannot or does not protect the humblest citizen in his right to life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness, should be reformed or overthrown, without delay.”
