What are the five stages of Tuckman's team formation model as described in the chapter?
The five stages are forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning.
Tuckman's model describes five stages of team development. In the forming stage, individuals come together, behavior is polite, ground rules are set, and work on an agreed agenda begins. In the storming stage, personality differences and tensions become apparent as members understand each other better. In the norming stage, members unite, roles are clarified, and a sense of team emerges. In the performing stage, effective structures and ways of working are evident, with mutual trust, respect, high morale, and job satisfaction. The adjourning stage is when a team may become complacent, stop striving to improve, rely on past performance, and focus on tasks.
