Every relationship has a honeymoon period — the time when you feel all the warm fuzzies and can’t imagine ever feeling anything but POSITIVE about the future. 

Then a storm hits. 

The relationship arc is a 5-stage concept developed by psychologist Bruce Tuckman in the mid-1960s that describes the PROCESS teams go through as people form bonds and learn to work together. 

In today’s episode you’ll hear:

• The specifics of the 5 stages: Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing and Adjourning/Mourning 
• What to expect from each stage AND how to navigate them as a leader
• How to PREVENT yourself from spiraling during Storming
• Why Storming can make-or-break a team
• How to guide your team into Norming and Performing
