Recovering and rebuilding after significant setbacks
Some setbacks are significant enough that maintaining momentum is not possible. Resilient teams can recover and rebuild. After significant setbacks, allow time for processing. Major disruptions require acknowledgment and, often, grieving. This may include grieving about developments beyond the team—environmental destruction,… An ongoing team scaffold (team process), run after major setbacks, not as a one-off session.
