Today, my discussion topic is Four Stages of Team in which it is all about team don't just form and immediately start working together - they need time to become effective . The following are :
1.) Forming : When a team is forming, members cautiously explore the boundaries of acceptable group behavior. It is normal for little team progress to occur during this stage. Forming is the stage of development when the team meets and learns about the opportunities and challenges and then agrees on goals and begins to tackle the tasks.
2.) Storming : Storming is probably the most difficult stage for the group. Members often become impatient about the lack of progress, but are still inexperienced with working as a team. Members may argue about the actions they should take because they may be faced with ideas that are unfamiliar to them and put them outside their comfort zones.
3.) Norming : During this stage, team members accept the team and begin to reconcile differences. Emotional conflict is reduced as relationships become more cooperative. The team is able to concentrate more on their work and start to make significant progress.
4.) Performing: By this stage, the team members have discovered and accepted each other 's strengths and weaknesses, and learned what their roles are. Members are open and trusting and many good ideas are produced because they are not afraid to offer ideas and suggestions. They are comfortable using decision making tools to evaluate the ideas, prioritize tasks and solve problems. Much is accomplished and team satisfaction and loyalty is high.
Working as a team is a much needed skill in today's workplace
