Ever been on a team that started strong but quickly hit walls of conflict, confusion, or silence?
At first, everyone’s excited. But then—expectations clash, tensions rise, and suddenly it feels like you’re stuck instead of moving forward.
The truth? Every team goes through these phases. The difference between a team that thrives and a team that falls apart… is leadership.
In this episode of Business Building Blocks, I unpack the 5 stages of team development—forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning—so you can recognize where your team is and lead with clarity.
✅ How to set expectations in forming
✅ How to handle conflict in storming
✅ How to build independence in norming
✅ How to sustain performance at the highest level
✅ What to do when a team ends or changes
Whether you’re building a new team or guiding a seasoned one, this framework will transform how you lead.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
