Team Building: 04. Team Development and the Tuckman Model

When a group of people first form a team, their roles and interactions have not yet been determined. Some individuals may simply observe while they decide where they fit, while others may jump right in. There are models that describe how team development progresses. The most popular one is called the Tuckman Model, and is generally accepted as the basic standard of team development. The four stages in the Tuckman Model are known as Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing. In this program, we'll take a look at each stage.
