The four stages are a helpful framework for recognizing a team’s behavioral patterns; they are most useful as a basis for team conversation. Team development is not always a linear process. Having a way to identify and understand causes for changes in the team behaviors can help the team maximize its process and its productivity.
This assignment will give students the opportunity to generate and justify strategies that teams can adopt at each stage of team development to improve their performance and overall effectiveness.
Assignment instructions:
For each stage of team development outlined in Tuckman’s model, suggest 2 strategies a team could adopt to move through each stage with minimum disruption to the team’s performance and effectiveness. Briefly justify the strategies you are suggesting, drawing on what you have learned in previous modules. Your paper should be two pages.
