4 stages of Group Development
Created by Bruce Tuckman in 1915
Stage 1 Forming
The individuals come together and get to initially know each other and form as a group.
As this is the beginning of group development you are allowed to assess strengths and
weaknesses of members and well as Begin to define roles e.g. leadership as well
getting to know the personality and characteristics of the person allowing to decide if
they belong within the group
Stage 2 Storming
Is the Chaotic period of conflict where individuals seek their roles and status within the
group. This is often when team members start to fight for status within the group. There
is intense inter-group competition, as group members fight for their position within the
team. There could be a possibility of a rebellion against the leader or resistance to the
way the group is being developed or the tactics they are adopting.
Stage 3 Norming
Team members begin to gravitate towards the norms of the group. Members come to
accept the common goals and values of the group. Members start to appreciate the
contributions of other members that can help the team to function successfully. The
group pulls together for the common effort, and the roles are established and become
stable. Resolve differences with one another. All problems are going to be solved,
decisions are going to be made. Team starts coming together and works towards the
main goal. When your team is going to start to socialise this creates relationships with
one another allowing the rapport building to occur.
Stage 4 Performing
This stage involves the team progressing and functioning effectively as a unit. They
group works without conflict towards achievement of shared goals. Overall, the group is
more motivated as the group is more knowledgeable and able to make its own
decisions and take responsibility for them. As new people join there will be a new period
of storming and norming as this person is either accepted or rejected.
