Team development
3.1 Tuckman’s model of team development
Team members are simply a collection of
FORMING
individuals, unsure of their roles.
Team members challenge the
STORMING manager’s authority resulting
in conflict and tension.
The norms under which the
team will operate are NORMING
established and team
relationships become settled.
At this stage the team is capable of PERFORMING
operating at full capacity.
If a team remains for a long time at the
performing stage there is a danger that
it starts to lose efficiency. It is often best ADJOURNING
to adjourn the team or make changes to
the team membership.
