Unbounded Enthusiasm
This is the first phase where everyone is excited about a new project and are ready to tackle it head-on with enthusiasm and passion. Everyone has high hopes for the project and can’t wait to dive into it. It’s almost too good to be true!
Total Disillusionment
As reality sets in, team members start to realize that this project is going to be much harder than they thought and will require much more work than anticipated. Everyone starts to become disillusioned with the project and their motivation plummets as they lose faith in its success.
Panic, Hysteria and Overtime
In this phase, everyone starts to feel overwhelmed by the task at hand and begins working beyond their normal hours trying desperately to get things done on time (and within budget). People start panicking because they feel like they are running out of time and losing control over the situation.
Frantic Search for the Guilty
When things start going wrong or deadlines start slipping away, people begin pointing fingers at each other trying to find someone to blame for their problems. Everyone tries desperately not only to protect themselves but also try to shift blame onto someone else who isn’t present or can’t defend themself from such accusations. This phase can be extremely damaging as morale plummets due to lack of trust between team members.
Punishment of The Innocent
As tensions rise throughout this process group blaming game, some people will inevitably suffer consequences even though they had nothing directly do with any mistakes made on the project. This could include anything from verbal abuse all the way up through termination depending on how serious any missteps were perceived by management or other stakeholders involved in the project.
Reward for The Uninvolved
Finally comes what seems like an inevitable ending point; those who weren’t involved in any capacity receive rewards for their ‘contribution’ while everyone else slogs away behind them trying desperately just to keep things together until completion day arrives!
This is a parody?
In my working life I worked for a couple of organizations like that.
The “rewards for the uninvolved” at the end were to black women who didn’t even know what the project was!
That’s how it is at my job.
It’s well known that the great Obama came to loathe Joe, and Joe is under the impression that the supposedly great accomplishments of Obama were actually his for which he received no credit. That the camps of these two wretched hacks are finally going at it is glorious
