274. Storming: Resolving Conflicts and Bringing Teams Along the Journey

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when tension rises in a team? Do you address it directly, or hope it blows over?This 4-part mini-series is all about Incredible Teams, using the Tuckman Team Dynamics model as inspiration for creating or sustaining great teamwork.In this episode, we explore the Storming stage of team development and why conflict isn’t a setback - it’s a signal. When differences surface, expectations clash, or frustration builds, it’s often a sign that people care and are invested.We discuss why avoiding difficult conversations can erode trust over time, and how naming tension early can strengthen relationships rather than damage them.We introduce the Five Ps:  Preparation, Placement, Permission, Process and Partnership - a practical framework to help you handle hard conversations with clarity and compassion.A grounded listen for anyone leading through change, navigating disagreement, or wanting to bring their team along the journey. Because storms handled well don’t break teams, they build them.
