Team building and the problem of regression: the personal management interview as an intervention.
This article describes the characteristics of a Personal Management Interview (PMI) and reports the results of its implementation in 16 different organizational contexts. Based upon Group Behavior Inventory and personal interview data collected from 208 participants (135 experimental and 71 comparison group members), the results show that the implementation of regular PMIs can prevent the regression or fade-out which often occurs after off-site team-building sessions.
