"which has served as the basis of many models of group development, described change as a three-stage process: unfreezing, change, and freezing. Bruce Tuckman reviewed about fifty studies of group development (including Bales' model) in the mid-sixties and synthesized their commonalities in one of the most frequently cited models of group development (Tuckman, 1965). Tuckman's model of group development describes four linear stages (forming, storming, norming, and performing) that a group will go through in its unitary sequence of decision making. A fifth stage (adjourning) was added in 1977 when a new set of studies were reviewed (Tuckman & Jensen,"
"other parts of the organisation upon which sales depend, like delivery, after-sales service, etc. However ""sales staff"" is a more accurate description of the typical arrangement. Groups develop into teams in four stages: In the first stage, group development is characterized by members' dependency on the designated leader (identical to 'Forming' in Tuckman's model). In the second stage, the group seeks to free itself from its dependence on the leader and groups have conflicts about goals and procedures (identical to 'Storming' in Tuckman's model). In the third stage, the group manages to work through the conflicts (identical to 'Norming' in"
"always participating. The team will make most of the necessary decisions. Even the most high-performing teams will revert to earlier stages in certain circumstances. Many long-standing teams go through these cycles many times as they react to changing circumstances. For example, a change in leadership may cause the team to revert to ""storming"" as the new people challenge the existing norms and dynamics of the team. In 1977, Tuckman, jointly with Mary Ann Jensen, added a fifth stage to the four stages: ""adjourning"", that involves completing the task and breaking up the team (in some texts referred to as Mourning)."
"punctuated equilibrium model. Combining multiple theories and the development models of Tuckman and Gersick, Morgan, Salas and Glickman (1994) created the Team Evolution and Maturation (TEAM) model to describe a series of nine developmental stages through which newly formed, task-oriented teams are hypothesized to evolve. The periods of development are labeled ""stages"" and conceived to be ""relatively informal, indistinct, and overlapping"", because ""sharp demarcations are not often characteristic of the dynamic situations in which operational teams work and develop"". According to this model, teams might begin a given period of development at different stages and spend different amounts of time"
"the individual team members and the team as a whole. Bruce Tuckman proposed a team developmental model that separated the stages of a team's lifespan and the level of teamwork for each stage: Utilizing teamwork is sometimes unnecessary and can lead to teams not reaching their performance peak. Some of those disadvantages include: Working in teams has also shown to be very beneficial. Some of these advantages include: Teamwork Teamwork is the collaborative effort of a team to achieve a common goal or to complete a task in the most effective and efficient way. This concept is seen within the"
"and personality clashes must be resolved before the team can progress out of this stage, and so some teams may never emerge from ""storming"" or re-enter that phase if new challenges or disputes arise. In Tuckman's 1965 paper, only 50% of the studies identified a stage of intragroup conflict, and some of the remaining studies jumped directly from stage 1 to stage 3. Some groups may avoid the phase altogether, but for those who do not, the duration, intensity and destructiveness of the ""storms"" can be varied. Tolerance of each team member and their differences should be emphasized; without tolerance"

Stewart Tubbs ""systems"" approach to studying small group interaction led him to the creation of a four-phase model of group development: Fisher outlines four phases through which task groups tend to proceed when engaged in decision making. By observing the distribution of act-response pairs (a.k.a. ""interacts"") across different moments of the group process, Fisher noted how the interaction changed as the group decision was formulated and solidified. His method pays special attention to the ""content"" dimension of interactions by classifying statements in terms of how they respond to a"
"that this stage will not always be achieved; however, for this level of cooperation, as well as productivity, the other four stages must be met. Cog's ladder is very similar to Tuckman's stages, another stage model of groups, which lacks the ""Why We're Here"" stage, and calls the remaining four stages ""Forming"", ""Storming"", ""Norming"", and ""Performing"". There are also other similar models, some of which are cyclic rather than reaching an end state. Cog's ladder Cog's ladder of group development is based on the work, ""Cog's Ladder: A Model of Group Growth"", by George O. Charrier, an employee of Procter"
"Tuckman's model). And in the last stage, groups focus on team productivity (identical to 'Performing' in Tuckman's model). One aspect of teams that can set them apart from other groups is their level of autonomy. Hackman developed a hierarchical model of team autonomy which consists of four levels of team self-management. It is imagined along a continuum, starting with a manager-led team in which team members complete the required tasks but someone outside the team performs the executive functions. Next in the hierarchy are self-managing teams, followed by self-designing teams. Finally, at the top of the hierarchy, come self-governing teams."
"and the need to control. A community is born when its members reach a stage of ""emptiness"" or peace. Richard Hackman developed a synthetic, research-based model for designing and managing work groups. Hackman suggested that groups are successful when they satisfy internal and external clients, develop capabilities to perform in the future, and when members find meaning and satisfaction in the group. Hackman proposed five conditions that increase the chance that groups will be successful. These include: ""Intragroup dynamics"" (also referred to as ingroup-, within-group, or commonly just ‘group dynamics’) are the underlying processes that give rise to a set"
"in the various stages. Teams are not always expected to progress in a linear fashion through all of the stages. A team's beginning point and pattern of progression through the stages depend on factors such as the characteristics of the team and team members, their past histories and experience, the nature of their tasks, and the environmental demands and constraints (cf. McGrath, 1991). The TEAM model identities a total of ""nine stages"", seven central ones supplemented by two additional ones. The seven central stages begin with the formation of the team during its first meeting (forming) and moves through the"
"members' initial, and sometimes unstable, exploration of the situation (storming), initial efforts toward accommodation and the formation and acceptance of roles (norming), performance leading toward occasional inefficient patterns of performance (performing-I), reevaluation and transition (reforming), refocusing of efforts to produce effective performance (performing-11), and completion of team assignments (conforming). The development of a team might be recycled from any of the final stages to an earlier stage if necessitated by a failure to achieve satisfactory performance or if adjustments to environmental demands are required or if problematic team interactions develop. The core stages of the model are preceded by a"

Stage Four: ""Performing"", the point in which the group members have the capacity to feel comfortable with each other. Unlike the stage preceding it, many of the emotions felt on this level are of trust and kindness, although apathy and disinterest may also peak in certain members during this stage. Stage Five: ""Mourning and Reform"", the final stage which involves a parting of ways as group members review and reflect on the past. At the same time, they also"
"community has three essential ingredients: Based on his experience with community building workshops, Peck says that community building typically goes through four stages: The four stages of community formation are somewhat related to a model in organization theory for the five stages that a team goes through during development. These five stages are: It is in this third stage that Peck's community-building methods differ in principle from team development. While teams in business organizations need to develop explicit rules, guidelines and protocols during the ""norming"" stage, the ""emptiness"" stage of community building is characterized, not by laying down the rules"

The GDQ is used to survey group members and assess their individual perception of their group's developmental state (Wheelan, S., & Hochberger, 1996). Her academic work has been transferred into a commercial organization, GDQ Associates, Inc. In her empirical validation of the model, Wheelan (2003) has analyzed the relationship between the length of time that a group has been meeting and"
"of stages through their lifetime. Such evolution is driven alternately by two main motivations: that of being autonomous and that of belonging to a group. Human beings are ""controlled"" by these motivations in the sense that they do not have influence on them but are rather defined by them. Additionally, these motivations are in conflict and their relationship develops over a lifespan. Kegan describes 5 stages of development, of which the latter 4 are progressively attained in adulthood, although only a small proportion of adults reach the fourth stage and beyond: CDF refers to such stages as ""social–emotional"" in that"

In this model, ""early"" stages of group development are associated with specific issues and patterns of talk such as those related to dependency, counter-dependency, and trust which precede the actual work conducted during the ""more mature” stages of a group's life. The table below describes each one of these phases. Based on this model, Wheelan has created and validated both a ""Group Development Observation System"" (GDOS) and a ""Group Development Questionnaire"" (GDQ). The GDOS allows"
"a group work in different ways. If distrust persists, a group may never even get to the norming stage. M. Scott Peck developed stages for larger-scale groups (i.e., communities) which are similar to Tuckman's stages of group development. Peck describes the stages of a community as: Communities may be distinguished from other types of groups, in Peck's view, by the need for members to eliminate barriers to communication in order to be able to form true community. Examples of common barriers are: expectations and preconceptions; prejudices; ideology, counterproductive norms, theology and solutions; the need to heal, convert, fix or solve"
"and intense energy within a high-performance team. Collectively, the team has its own consciousness, indicating shared norms and values within the team. The team feels a strong sense of accountability for achieving their goals. Team members display high levels of mutual trust towards each other. To support team effectiveness within high-performance teams, understanding of individual working styles is important. This can be done by applying DISC assessment, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument to understand behavior, personalities and thinking styles of team members. Using Tuckman's stages of group development as a basis, a HPT moves through"
"the stages of forming, storming, norming and performing, as with other teams. However, the HPT uses the storming and norming phase effectively to define who they are and what their overall goal is, and how to interact together and resolve conflicts. Therefore, when the HPT reaches the performing phase, they have highly effective behaviours that allow them to overachieve in comparison to regular teams. Later, leadership strategies (coordinating, coaching, empowering, and supporting) were connected to each stage to help facilitate teams to high performance. Characteristics Different characteristics have been used to describe high-performance teams. Despite varying approaches to describing high-performance"

"Erikson's stages of psychosocial development Erikson's stages of psychosocial development, as articulated in the second half of the 20th century by Erik Erikson in collaboration with Joan Erikson, is a comprehensive psychoanalytic theory that identifies a series of eight stages that a healthy developing individual should pass through from infancy to late adulthood. Erikson's stage theory characterizes an individual advancing through the eight life stages as a function of negotiating his or her biological and sociocultural forces. Each stage is characterized by a psychosocial crisis of these two conflicting forces. If an individual does indeed successfully reconcile these forces (favoring"

The first of these stages, ""stand initiation"", occurs after a major disturbance and involves many species arriving in the area of abundant light and nutrients. The second stage, ""stem exclusion"", describes the growth and competition of these species as resources become less available; likely one or a few species outcompetes and becomes stand-dominating. The third stage, ""understory reinitiation"", involves further disturbance and the creation of gaps; at this point stratification develops, with layers of canopy, midstory, and understory appearing.

Further, the influence of leadership within a chaotic system has been examined to ascertain how turbulent processes can be managed or guided towards successful outcomes . Apart from the question of the validity of the research methods used and the generalizations that can be made based on the types of groups studied, there still remain some significant challenges in the study of group development. As some researchers have pointed out (e.g. Tuckman, 1965) group development models often provide only snapshots of groups at certain points of their history but do not fully"

The four core constructs characterizing this adaptive cycle include: (1) situation assessment; (2) plan formulation; (3) plan execution, via adaptive interaction processes; and (4) team learning, as well as emergent cognitive states (i.e., shared mental models, team situational awareness, psychological safety), which serve as both proximal outcomes and inputs to this cycle. Team adaptive performance differs from individual adaptive performance from several aspects. Team adaptive performance reflects the extent to which the team meets its objectives during a transfer performance episode, whereas individual adaptive performance reflects the extent to which each member effectively"

To understand the characteristics of learners in childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age, educational psychology develops and applies theories of human development. Often represented as stages through which people pass as they mature, developmental theories describe changes in mental abilities (cognition), social roles, moral reasoning, and beliefs about the nature of knowledge. For example, educational psychologists have conducted research on the instructional applicability of Jean Piaget's theory of development, according to which children mature through four"

Both Kegan's and Basseches' findings were updated and refined by Laske in 2005 and 2008 respectively.
