Have you ever heard of the ‘Forming-Storming-Norming-Performing model’? Initially outlined in 1965, Tuckman’s model was compiled by comparing the results from 50 research studies on small team development.
In a nutshell, the model states that there are five main stages that every team goes through. They are:
Stage 1: Forming.
The initial stage of team development, Forming, marks the coming together of individuals or the addition of new members. It’s a period characterized by a spectrum of emotions from positive excitement to anxious energy. During this phase, team members acquaint themselves with one another and the team’s objectives. Discussions revolve around tasks, approaches, and potential challenges.
Stage 2: Storming
In the Storming stage, the team moves beyond the basics and delves into expressing their genuine opinions, ideas, and concerns. Inevitably, disagreements and clashes emerge as individuals become more candid with their thoughts and feelings. The risk here is getting stuck in a perpetual state of conflict, hindering team performance.
Stage 3: Norming
When differences are resolved and as trust continues to grow, the team progresses into the Norming stage. Here, competition among individuals subsides, and a collective focus on team goals emerges.
Stage 4: Performing.
With established norms and shared goals, the team achieves high-performance levels. At this stage, motivated and collaborative team members freely challenge each other’s ideas, striving for excellence.
Stage 5: Adjourning.
The final stage occurs when the team disbands, either after completing its tasks or due to member departures. It’s crucial to acknowledge and celebrate the team’s achievements during this time.
