In this episode of Grey, your hosts Dr Mel Irons and Rajan Kumar dive deep into four of the most influential high-performing team frameworks. They unpack the psychology, science, and structure behind successful collaboration — and more importantly, how to bring these models to life inside organisations.

Frameworks discussed:

1. Amy Edmondson’s Psychological Safety — the foundation of trust and openness in teams.

2. Google’s Project Aristotle — what the tech giant learned about what actually drives team effectiveness.

3. Tuckman’s Model — the classic “forming, storming, norming, performing” stages of team development.

4. Patrick Lencioni’s Five Dysfunctions of a Team — a practical lens for diagnosing and fixing team challenges.

Mel and Rajan go beyond the whiteboard to discuss:

✅ How to operationalise these models

✅ The tools and tactics that help embed them into culture

✅ Where teams often get stuck — and how to keep momentum

Tune in, take notes, and transform how your team works.
