Survey Questions
Hi, in this video you will learn how a team is developed in a business.
Building a team takes time and effort. Do not expect a group of people to work together smoothly for the first time. Without proper leadership and management skills, you will not be able to build an exceptional team. Communication between members is also very important when developing a team.
The following are 5 essential stages that a business goes through during team development:
-
The first stage is the ‘Forming’ Stage. Over here, members are getting to know each other. They are trying to understand the roles that must be taken and the goals that are addressed to achieve. The leader at this point is working together with the colleagues directing them to what this is all about.
-
The second stage is the ‘Storming’ Stage. In this stage, conflicts arise. Members are uncomfortable with their fellow colleagues. Competition for roles and leadership arises. Differences in perspectives and experiences collide with each other. At this point, the leader steps in to reduce tension.
-
Next comes the ‘Norming’ Stage. In this stage, members are starting to communicate together. Trust is starting to build among them. By now, everyone knows what their role is. Leaders at this point are settling communications between members enabling the start of a stable teamwork.
-
Now we reach the ‘Performing’ Stage. In this stage, a high-level of communication, understanding and trust has been achieved between the team members. Individuals are working together efficiently to achieve their common goal. Group decision making, collaboration, motivation and effective development is happening here. At this point, leaders offer gratitude to the members individually and also as a team for their striving performance.
-
The last stage is the ‘Adjourning’ Stage. In this stage, the delegated roles have either been completed effectively or not. The goal has been achieved or not. According to the accomplishments, the team either becomes permanent or temporary. Some members are forced to go back to the early stages due to their incapability of achieving what was desired. Others remain as a stable team taking on more responsibilities on future projects.
