Jensen, over 100 subsequent studies, and Graffius’ first-hand professional experience with, and analysis of, team leadership and performance, Graffius created his ‘Phases of Team Development’ as a unique perspective and visual conveying the five phases of team development — Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing, and Adjourning — inclusive of a graph showing how performance varies by phase, as well as the characteristics and strategies for each phase.

COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT - WHITE TEXT ON RED BACKGROUND - LwRes

Comparative Methodological Guidelines: Handbook for Educators Violates Scott M. Graffius’ Copyright

Here's information on the infringing publication:


Details, including indisputable proof of the violation, are reported next.

Again, Graffius’ copyright ownership details and permission request information are integrated into and appear on his intellectual property.

The authors (Maša Cek, Kety Zhvania-Tyson, Ema Žufić, Diana Maminaishvili, Sara Sušanj, and Tatia Gogishvili) of
Comparative Methodological Guidelines: Handbook for Educators did not request nor receive permission to use Graffius’ copyrighted property.

Nevertheless, the authors used Graffius’ 4 January 2021 copyrighted property in their publication.

Exhibit 2 is below. It shows thumbnail images of pages 1, 2, 73, 75, 77, 78, 80, and 89 from the infringing publication.

Comparing Graffius' copyrighted 4 January 2021 'Phases of Team Development' intellectual property with
Comparative Methodological Guidelines reveals that Comparative Methodological Guidelines violated Graffius' copyright. There are too many examples to list, but some follow.

The infringing publication used Graffius’ copyrighted property on the characteristics and strategies for the phases of team development
word-for-word. Here are some examples:

🟢 Graffius’ copyrighted Phases of Team Development has this content: "Some resistance"
🔴 Infringing Comparative Methodological Guidelines has this material: "Some resistance"

🟢 Graffius’ copyrighted Phases of Team Development has this content: "Lack of participation"
🔴 Infringing Comparative Methodological Guidelines has this material: "Lack of participation"

🟢 Graffius’ copyrighted Phases of Team Development has this content: "Requesting & encouraging feedback"
🔴 Infringing Comparative Methodological Guidelines has this material: "Requesting and encouraging feedback"

🟢 Graffius’ copyrighted Phases of Team Development has this content: "Identifying issues & facilitating their resolution"
🔴 Infringing Comparative Methodological Guidelines has this material: "Identifying issues and facilitating their resolutions"

🟢 Graffius’ copyrighted Phases of Team Development has this content: "Building trust by honoring commitments"
🔴 Infringing Comparative Methodological Guidelines has this material: "Building trust by honouring commitments"

🟢 Graffius’ copyrighted Phases of Team Development has this content: "Sadness"
🔴 Infringing Comparative Methodological Guidelines has this material: "Sadness"

Additionally the infringing publication used Graffius’ copyrighted property on the characteristics and strategies for the phases of team development with
slight re-wording (which, in context, is still infringement). Here are some examples:

🟢 Graffius’ copyrighted Phases of Team Development has this content: "More confident"
🔴 Infringing Comparative Methodological Guidelines has this material: "Confidence is high"

🟢 Graffius’ copyrighted Phases of Team Development has this content: "Improved commitment"
🔴 Infringing Comparative Methodological Guidelines has this material: "High commitment"

The indisputable proof shows that the infringing publication used Graffius' copyrighted property.

The authors used Graffius' material but did not attribute the material to him through citation in-line (in pages 73, 75, 77, 78, 80, and 89 of the infringing publication), or in the references and resources section (page 89 of the infringing publication) or otherwise. Through their actions or failure to act, the authors are wrongly leading others to falsely believe that they (or others) are the author and owner of Graffius’ respective copyrighted content.

Additionally, the authors made their violation of Graffius’ intellectual property even worse by marking page 2 of their infringing publication with the following (with hyperlink): "Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)" — where the link is
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/. At the preceding link, Creative Commons specifies that CC BY 4.0 means that: "You are free to: Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format for any purpose, even commercially. Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially." Again, the authors do not have any rights to Graffius' intellectual property. By the marking the infringing document with "Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)," the authors are falsely informing and instructing readers that anyone can freely copy and redistribute or adapt Graffius' copyrighted property in any medium or format for any purpose, even commercially. That's egregious, appalling, and destructive.

So long as the infringing publication exists in any language or form, it continues to spread misinformation and violate Graffius’ intellectual property.

Conclusion

Again, Graffius’ copyright ownership details and permission request information are integrated into and appear on his intellectual property.

Authors (Maša Cek, Kety Zhvania-Tyson, Ema Žufić, Diana Maminaishvili, Sara Sušanj, and Tatia Gogishvili) of
Comparative Methodological Guidelines: Handbook for Educators did not request nor receive permission to use Graffius’ copyrighted property.

Nevertheless, the authors used Graffius’ 4 January 2021 copyrighted property in their publication.

The authors used a material volume of Graffius’ copyrighted property.

The authors used Graffius' copyrighted property word-for-word and also with slight re-wording (which is still a violation).

The authors did not attribute their use of Graffius' copyrighted property to Graffius through citation or otherwise. Through their actions or failure to act, the authors are wrongly leading others to falsely believe that they (or others) are the author and owner of Graffius’ respective copyrighted content.

Could it possibly get worse? Unfortunately, yes. The authors marked page 2 of their infringing publication with the following (with hyperlink): "Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)" — where the link is https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/. At the preceding link, Creative Commons specifies that CC BY 4.0 means that: "You are free to: Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format for any purpose, even commercially. Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially." Again, the authors do not have any rights to Graffius' intellectual property. By the marking the infringing document with "Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)," the authors are falsely informing and instructing readers that anyone can freely copy and redistribute or adapt Graffius' copyrighted property in any medium or format for any purpose, even commercially. That's egregious, appalling, and destructive.

So long as the infringing publication exists in any language or form, it continues to spread misinformation and violate Graffius’ intellectual property.

The authors damaged the marketability and value of Graffius’ copyrighted property.

For the aforementioned reasons, the authors’ use of Graffius’ copyrighted property was not ‘fair use’ nor ‘fair dealing’ nor otherwise allowed.

The actions of the authors are a disgraceful breach of professional ethics, moral standards, and Graffius’ intellectual property rights.

The publisher must immediately implement the following three (3) actions:

  1. Remove the Infringing Material. Electronic Versions: Immediately remove the infringing material from digital platforms where it is advertised, promoted, sold, or distributed; this includes removing or disabling any online access to it. Physical Copies: If physical copies of the material are in inventory or circulation, stop further distribution; recall any copies already distributed.
  2. Issue a Retraction. Publish a formal retraction notice acknowledging the infringement and the steps taken to rectify the situation. The notice will present the facts as they are—the notice will not "spin" or "downplay" the infringement. The notice is to be clearly visible and accessible.
  3. Notify Relevant Parties. Subscribers and Purchasers and other Recipients: Inform the respective subscribers, purchasers, or recipients of the material about the retraction, ensuring transparency about the issue; again, the notice will present the facts as they are—the notice will not "spin" or "downplay" the infringement. Indexes and Databases: Notify any databases or indexing services that list the material so they can update their records accordingly.

Graffius maintains, enforces, and protects his copyright and other intellectual property rights. He reserves his rights in this disturbing and consequential matter.

Again, Graffius’ copyright ownership details and permission request information are integrated into and appear on his intellectual property.

Authors (Maša Cek, Kety Zhvania-Tyson, Ema Žufić, Diana Maminaishvili, Sara Sušanj, and Tatia Gogishvili) of
Comparative Methodological Guidelines: Handbook for Educators did not request nor receive permission to use Graffius’ copyrighted property.

Nevertheless, the authors used Graffius’ 4 January 2021 copyrighted property in their publication.

The authors used a material volume of Graffius’ copyrighted property.

The authors used Graffius' copyrighted property word-for-word and also with slight re-wording (which is still a violation).

The authors did not attribute their use of Graffius' copyrighted property to Graffius through citation or otherwise. Through their actions or failure to act, the authors are wrongly leading others to falsely believe that they (or others) are the author and owner of Graffius’ respective copyrighted content.

Could it possibly get worse? Unfortunately, yes. The authors marked page 2 of their infringing publication with the following (with hyperlink): "Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)" — where the link is https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/. At the preceding link, Creative Commons specifies that CC BY 4.0 means that: "You are free to: Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format for any purpose, even commercially. Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially." Again, the authors do not have any rights to Graffius' intellectual property. By the marking the infringing document with "Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)," the authors are falsely informing and instructing readers that anyone can freely copy and redistribute or adapt Graffius' copyrighted property in any medium or format for any purpose, even commercially. That's egregious, appalling, and destructive.

So long as the infringing publication exists in any language or form, it continues to spread misinformation and violate Graffius’ intellectual property.

The authors damaged the marketability and value of Graffius’ copyrighted property.

For the aforementioned reasons, the authors’ use of Graffius’ copyrighted property was not ‘fair use’ nor ‘fair dealing’ nor otherwise allowed.

The actions of the authors are a disgraceful breach of professional ethics, moral standards, and Graffius’ intellectual property rights.

The publisher must immediately implement the following three (3) actions:

  1. Remove the Infringing Material. Electronic Versions: Immediately remove the infringing material from digital platforms where it is advertised, promoted, sold, or distributed; this includes removing or disabling any online access to it. Physical Copies: If physical copies of the material are in inventory or circulation, stop further distribution; recall any copies already distributed.
  2. Issue a Retraction. Publish a formal retraction notice acknowledging the infringement and the steps taken to rectify the situation. The notice will present the facts as they are—the notice will not "spin" or "downplay" the infringement. The notice is to be clearly visible and accessible.
  3. Notify Relevant Parties. Subscribers and Purchasers and other Recipients: Inform the respective subscribers, purchasers, or recipients of the material about the retraction, ensuring transparency about the issue; again, the notice will present the facts as they are—the notice will not "spin" or "downplay" the infringement. Indexes and Databases: Notify any databases or indexing services that list the material so they can update their records accordingly.

Graffius maintains, enforces, and protects his copyright and other intellectual property rights. He reserves his rights in this disturbing and consequential matter.

If there's an update after this article is published, the information will appear in the Post-Publication Notes section.

Informed by the research of Bruce W. Tuckman and Mary Ann C. Jensen, over 100 subsequent studies, and Scott M. Graffius' first-hand professional experience with, and analysis of, team leadership and performance, Graffius created his ‘Phases of Team Development’ as a unique perspective and visual conveying the five phases of team development — Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing, and Adjourning — inclusive of a graph showing how performance varies by phase, as well as the characteristics and strategies for each phase.

Graffius' intellectual property (IP) is registered with the United States Copyright Office.

Graffius initially developed his ‘Phases of Team Development’ unique material in 2008, and he periodically refreshes it.

In 2012, the Internet Archive recorded an article with Graffius’ IP at http://scottgraffius.com/Articles/files/5747fde6fd9c565c5a0c5f8ea450a000-16.html (note: it subsequently migrated). A related visual is below.

Specifically, the Internet Archive recorded it on 13 October 2012.

For reference, the Internet Archive does not record every webpage or all elements on webpages. Of the websites that are recorded, it can be years before they are chronicled.

The 2014 NSDM publication, 'Leader Theory Explanations and Original Texts,' by National Security Affairs Professor Mary Raum, featured the 2008 Edition of Scott M. Graffius’ work on team development. Raum cited http://scottgraffius.com/Articles/files/5747fde6fd9c565c5a0c5f8ea450a000-16.html; that’s the same URL recorded by the Internet Archive in 2012.
