Understanding Life Positions (00:01:22)
Our thought process about ourselves and others shapes our behavior. Dr. Eric Berne’s Life Positions Model helps explain this:
- I’m OK – You’re OK (Healthy mindset) → Trusting, cooperative, problem-solving.
- I’m OK – You’re NOT OK (Self-centered) → Blaming others, arguments, tension.
- I’m NOT OK – You’re OK (Low self-esteem) → Dependence, insecurity, lack of confidence.
- I’m NOT OK – You’re NOT OK (Pessimistic) → Isolation, negativity, no motivation.
💡 Takeaway: To build strong relationships, strive for an “I’m OK – You’re OK” mindset!
The Power of Teamwork (00:04:40)
Teamwork makes the dream work! Kurt Lewin, the father of Group Dynamics, defined a team as a set of individuals working towards a common goal.
A successful team follows these 5 Stages of Formation:
- Forming: Members get to know each other.
- Storming: Conflicts arise as roles are established.
- Norming: Rules and norms develop.
- Performing: Maximum productivity phase.
- Adjourning: Project completion and team disbandment.
💡 Remember: “First Storms Need Clear Performance”—A great mnemonic to recall the stages!

Real-World Application of Team Dynamics
Effective team management is a core aspect of organizational success. Consider the case of a multinational bank implementing a new software system. The team assigned to this project undergoes all five stages:
- In the forming stage, members meet and set initial expectations.
- During storming, conflicts arise regarding implementation strategies.
- In norming, members agree on best practices.
- The performing stage sees the actual software launch.
- Finally, the adjourning stage involves evaluating success and future improvements.
Such structured team dynamics help corporations navigate large-scale projects efficiently.
