Tuckman’s Five-Stage Theory of Group Development (continued) 10-3b Figure 10-1 Tuckman’s Five-Stage Theory of Group Development (continued) Forming Storming Norming Performing Individual Issues “How do I fit in?” “What’s my role here?” “What do the others expect me to do?” “How can I best perform my role?” Group Issues “Why are we here?” “Why are we fighting over who’s in charge and who does what?” “Can we agree on roles and work as a team?” “Can we do the job properly?”

10-5 Social Norms Norm: “An attitude, opinion, feeling, or action -- shared by two or more people -- that guides their behavior.” Why Norms Are Enforced Help the group or organization survive Clarify or simplify behavioral expectations Help individuals avoid embarrassing situations Clarify the group’s or organization’s central values and/or unique identity

10-6 Teams Team: “A small number of people with complementary skills who are committed to a common purpose, performance goals, and approach for which they hold themselves mutually accountable.” The Evolution of a Team A work group becomes a team when: Leadership becomes a shared activity. Accountability shifts from strictly individual to both individual and collective. The group develops its own purpose or mission. Problem solving becomes a way of life, not a part-time activity. Effectiveness is measured by the group’s collective outcomes and products.

Trust Trust: “Reciprocal faith in others’ intentions and behavior.” 10-7 Trust Trust: “Reciprocal faith in others’ intentions and behavior.” How to Build Trust Communication (keep everyone informed; give feedback; tell the truth). Support (be available and approachable). Respect (delegate; be an active listener). Fairness (give credit where due; objectively evaluate performance). Predictability (be consistent; keep your promises). Competence (demonstrate good business sense and professionalism).
