The Ipsychologist Bruce Tuckman's Team Model

301 Words2 Pages
IPsychologist Bruce Tuckman came up with the idea of forming, storming, norming and performing.
In his team model, he described the path that most teams follow when they are put together. He started with four stages but later added fifth stage known as adjourning.
Forming:
This is the first stage of the group formation. In this stage, the group members are new to each other. Some of them are excited to work and some are nervous about the work to be done. This is the stage where leaders need to take charge as the roles and responsibilities of the team members aren’t clear.
This stage can last for some time as people are still getting to know each other and trying to make an effort to know their colleagues.
