Mastering Team Development
The Tuckman Model
Every successful team goes through stages of growth before they reach their full potential. The Tuckman Model breaks these down into five stages: Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing, and Adjourning. Understanding where your team is in this process helps you, as a business leader, guide them to success.
Key Takeaways
Forming
The team is just getting to know each other and their roles.
Storming
Conflicts arise as members assert their opinions and test boundaries.
Norming
The team begins to work together more smoothly, resolving conflicts.
Performing
Clear roles and trust lead to peak efficiency.
Adjourning
After completing a project, the team reflects on their success and moves on.
Great teams evolve with guidance and patience, not overnight
