Great Teams The Way To Succeed

Teams go through four stages of development: forming, storming, norming, and performing. In the forming stage, teams define their objectives and members' roles. The storming stage is when conflicts arise as the challenges become clearer. During norming, members accept team rules and each other. In the performing stage, the team works interdependently and is highly effective through established processes and trust between members. Successful teams have clearly defined shared goals, roles, decision-making processes, and strong interpersonal relationships.
