Tuckman's Theory

Tuckman's stages of Team Foundation:

Forming
     |
Storming
     |
Norming
     |
Performing

Forming - A group comes together and they establish common themes/ideas

Storming - The group then exchanges ideas and information. There may be disagreements at this point.

Norming - The group comes together and agrees on common ideas/themes

Performing - The group then starts to work together to produce the required end product


Example:

A group of professionals meet. Pleasantries and chatting about why they are there. Different people come with different agendas, for example a teacher and policeman. Argument pursues. If a leader isn't established then only the strongly opinionated will speak. Compromise or negotiation until they come to an agreement. Plan what to do when, where, how and with whom.
