Two new Business Owners join the state DMV licensing ART and immediately reopen PI operating agreements the teams treated as settled. What should the RTE anticipate?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
When new heavy-hitters walk into the DMV licensing train, yesterday’s handshake is not automatically today’s handshake. Groups re-form a bit; they have to re-norm the rules of the road. Treat the reopened agreements as a chance to rewrite the house rules with the new voices in the room, not as a mutiny.
Full Explanation
Group dynamics are not a one-time ladder. Influential new members—especially Business Owners—often pull an ART back toward earlier stages until norms are renegotiated. The RTE should facilitate explicit re-norming of operating agreements rather than freezing history, dissolving the train, or replacing ART agreements with portfolio edicts. Shared, updated norms restore alignment without pretending the group is unchanged.
