Your team has been in the Learning stage and it’s heading into the Self-Organizing stage. Team members have learned the skills necessary to become self-organizing now, and everything gets done whether you’re there or not. This is where a lot of people get scared. What good am I as a lead if I’m not needed anymore? Couldn’t my higher ups just fire me and let the team do it’s thing?
So you’re team now has time to learn, and some of them (if not all), are taking advantage of that. How do you get them to be self-organizing? That’s where you start pushing responsibilities onto your team.
So how do you know if your team is in choas? Actually, most teams are in the chaos stage. Learning to identify when a team has gotten into chaos isn’t really that hard if you follow some simple guidelines, though.
This isn’t an original idea of mine. It actually comes straight from 5whys.com. I spend a lot of time as a leader researching how others lead their teams, and @RoyOsherove‘s writings are worth your time.
