Tuckman model: Stages of team development

1. Forming stage. It is similar to the childhood stage. Teams just formed and don't know each other, not have an understanding of the purpose of the team.
2. Storming. This stage is similar to the adolescence stage. Teams will consolidate interpersonal relationships.
3. Norming is similar to young adulthood. Understanding and cohesion form.
4. Performing is similar to the stage of middle adulthood. This is when the team are high-performing.
5. Adjourning, compared to late adulthood, is the stage when high-performance teams reached their missions and must disband.

The team is just formed, so the team members don't know each other and don't have a clear understanding of the purpose and vision of the team.

The Role of the Leader in the Forming Stage
