About
The 'Turn team around' mind map template provides a structured 126-node framework for diagnosing and resolving team dysfunction. Designed for team leaders, it covers root causes (personality clash, cultural barriers, language barriers), a 4-phase analysis process (pray, write down my analysis of the situation, reflect on my role as leader, Develop SWOT), and an action plan with project management, coaching, and facilitation strategies. The template also includes a timeline assuming a Fall semester with Month 1 and Month 2 milestones, and a support section recommending a mentor. Key nodes like '1 Analysis' and 'Action Plan' guide leaders through self-reflection and practical interventions.
