Navigating the Stages of Team Development

As your team evolves, it will progress through distinct stages of development. Understanding these stages can help you tailor your management approach to meet your team's changing needs:
‍

Forming: Team members are getting acquainted, establishing roles, and learning about the project. Provide clear direction and support to help them find their footing.
‍

Storming: Conflicts may arise as team members navigate differing opinions and work styles. Facilitate open communication and help them find common ground.
‍

Norming: The team begins to coalesce, establishing norms and working more collaboratively. Encourage shared leadership and help them refine their processes.
‍

Performing: The team is now a cohesive unit, working efficiently and effectively towards their goals. Provide ongoing support and resources to maintain their momentum.
‍

Adjourning: As the project wraps up, help your team reflect on their accomplishments and document their learnings. Celebrate their successes and prepare them for future endeavours.
