Summary Introduction

Case Summary:

10 British soldiers out on a training exercise ended up coming back in separate groups injured, even though they knew that the rule for expeditions is to stay as a group. The groups that started off well with trust and common ground to complete the mission, slowing disintegrated owing to a diverse group division, ad-hoc leadership, lack of trust, improper communication. The initiators of the training Lieutenant Colonel Neil as well Major Foster are blamed for this expedition where the lives of the soldiers have been endangered.

Characters in the case:

The 10 British soldiers, Lieutenant Colonel Neil, Major Foster are mentioned in this passage.

Adequate Information:

Less experienced soldiers were taken for the mission. The groups were divided with no specific rulings. The temporary work out had diverse members and these members were not acquainted previously. The groups started with a high level of trust. Ad hoc leaders, similarities, differences in members, failure of leaders to listen to concerns of the team resulted in group getting disintegrated.

I participated in a team tasked with developing and implementing a new customer service training program. The team included five members: myself, two training specialists, an HR representative, and a team leader. Our work environment was a mix of virtual and collocated, with weekly in-person meetings and frequent virtual check-ins. Reflecting on our process, it's evident that parts of “Tuckman's model”(Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing, and Adjourning) were present in the development and completion of the project.
