Conflict or catalyst? How to turn your Stage 2 team’s tension into forward momentum
Stage 2, counter-dependency and fight, is the most critical and most misunderstood stage of team development. It’s where conflict surfaces, authority gets challenged, and many teams get stuck. But according to research behind the IMGD model, it’s also where the real work of becoming a high-performing team begins.
In this 2-hour moderated panel, experienced GDQ practitioners and GDQ Research Lead David Arvidsson share their real-world insights on how to unpack Stage 2 team data, how to navigate the tension between members and leaders, and how to use conflict constructively, rather than letting it derail development.
You’ll hear perspectives on what they felt works, what doesn’t, and how to help teams move forward with clarity and confidence.
This session is for you if you:
- Work with teams that feel stuck in disagreement or resistance
- Want to get inspired for Stage 2 interventions
- Are curious how other practitioners approach one of the most challenging stages
