Team Evolution Stages
- Tuckman's Model describes five stages of team development: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning.
Forming Stage
- Members are often concerned with acceptance, clarity about goals may not be sought, and members communicate reservedly.
- Leaders/participants should clarify each team member's responsibilities, conduct frequent check-ins, establish shared goals, identify team members' strengths, and set initial norms
- Typical expression is excitement, fear, or concern/anxiety.
Storming Stage
- Team members seek clarification of goals, participation increases, conflict begins to surface, and subgroups may form but lack alignment with team goals
- Leaders/participants should provide direction, help prioritize tasks, allow time for members to express concerns and seek clarification; acknowledge conflict and take steps to address it
Norming Stage
- Team members demonstrate a shared vision of goals.
- Members start resolving conflict independently, demonstrating greater cohesion and trust.
- Expression of acceptance, comfort, satisfaction.
- Leaders/participants should delegate tasks, conduct fewer meetings, and check in with the team.
Performing Stage
- Teams have effective open and honest communication.
- Members encourage innovation and subgroups focus on tasks aligned with goals.
- Expression of satisfaction and confidence is prominent.
- Leaders/participants should empower teams to make decisions, take a step back to allow members to resolve issues, and celebrate successes.
Adjourning Stage
- A mix of more or less productivity is seen, depending on how members feel about team completion.
- Expression of mixed feelings—including sadness, anxiety, relief.
- Leaders/participants should complete deliverables, close out remaining tasks, evaluate processes, celebrate contributions and accomplishments.
