Storming is
dealing with Chaos and Confusion
•Claes Jannsen’s (1982) Four Room Apartment – need to go through the room of Chaos and Confusion to reach renewal
•Part and parcel of the TB change is to bring people into this room of chaos where they will NOT want to go.
•Leaders in particular will want to hold on to power and control that they are familiar with.
•Recognize and confront it when it is happening.
•Chaos – does not mean ‘no order what so ever”, but more a sense of being open to outcome and not attached to outcome.
