long the group is together and the nature of
the task.

first join a team or group.

do about it?

help people unite and work together?

This stage needs to be acknowledged and


dealt with as part of normal team behavior:

Be aware that conflict may emerge


between sub groups or over leadership.

There may be tension in the team


because of some disagreement/ dislike
between members.

Members may be reluctant to continue


and so fail to reappear after a break
Stage 3 - Norming

A sense of team identity develops


along with trust.

Team members begin to share ideas


and objectives.

They agree on what is to be achieved


and commitment develops.
