Transcript for Episode 036: The Connection Between Leadership Styles and Stages of Group Development
Amy Climer: Welcome to The Deliberate Creative Podcast Episode 36. In today’s episode, I am going to weave together the content from three previous episodes and explain how it all fits together and how it can impact your leadership, your team and ultimately, of course, your creativity and success as a team.
I am going to talk about the Stages of Group Development which I mentioned months ago in Episode 9. In that episode I talked about how the stages of group development impact creativity. That is going to actually be the foundation of this episode. Then I am going to bring in Episode 34 from two weeks ago where I talked about three elements a team needs to exceed, and those are task, relationship and process. We will talk about those. Third, is the episode from last week, Episode 35 where I talked about the leadership styles continuum and how as a leader you need to be able to shift your style based on a variety of situation, and one of those situations is Stages of Group Development.
Today, I want to weave all that together and explain it – try to explain it – so that you can understand how it all fits together and you want to pay attention to all these things essentially at the same time. This is a bit of a complex topic so I have put together a free handout for you that has a model on it that will help explain how these three different things all fit together.
