Team Development Model, Five Stages of Team Development Model by Bruce Tuckman: Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing and Adjourning (mourning). Tuckman's Team Development Model
6. 2. Storming - Leadership focus
● Establish processes and structures
● Encourage and build trust and good relationships
between team members
● Resolve conflicts quickly and provide support to
insecure members
● Remain positive and firm if challenged (leadership and
team goals)
● Explain the model (Forming, Storming, Norming,
Performing, Mourning)
● Use psychometric measures (Myers-Briggs etc.) for
people to learn of different working styles
8. 3. Norming - Leadership focus
● Step back, allow team
members to take
responsibility for
progress towards the
goal.
● A team building event
would work wonders
here.
12. 5. Adjourning - Leadership focus
Take time to
celebrate the team’s
achievements - you
may work with the
members again and
it’s great if past
experiences are
viewed in a positive
light
13. Key Points
Team formation usually follows easily
recognisable stages, known as "forming,
storming, norming, performing, and later added
mourning" (created by Psychologist Bruce
Tuckman).
You can use Tuckman's model to help your team
reach the performing stage as quickly as
possible.
First, identify the stage of development that your
team is at. Then, use strategies that move your
team through to the next stage in the team
formation process. With focus and hard work,
you'll quickly have a high-performing team.
