Team development: existing models and improvements...... by Zisis Atsou s210263
Team development or in short, teamwork , is an important tool for companies to gain a step in a competitive environment. Bruce Tuckman in 1965 established 4 stages of team development , in order to identify the feelings and behaviors of every teammate, as well as break down the process of creating a team(1). Companies invest a lot of money in teams, cause their products , services , or any other activity they have, depends on the group of people tasked to create all these. Many other similar researches have been published about the stages of development , like farell et all, 2009(2), or issac and liat, 2016(3), but all concluded to 4 common stages: Forming, Storming, Norming and Performing. All of which can be used, not only to evaluate how well the team members are gonna connect, but to identify any problems that may occur during this process. Additionally, another stage was added later by Tuckman & Jensen, 1977, called adjourning, which is used to explain what happens after the task is over and the team gets disbanded(5).
All these tools are very important for project management and generally any task management , cause the members can understand and reach a common goal, each other’s feeling and take proper action about it, regardless their experience level(4).
So, after all this research on the stages, many solutions were proposed to improve them, and make the teamwork go smoother. But what new can be done to further improve the process? Variables such as education, nationality, sociability , task orientation , familiarity , beliefs , or ethics will be explored further to determine whether they make a difference in the process of team development.
THE BASICS
Bruce Tuckman in 1965, stated that teams dont form fast, by accident, or slowly(9). Instead they follow specific stages, going from completely strangers to a cohesive group with a common goal(8). Originally, his model had 4 stages called Forming, Storming, Norming and Performing, and years later in collaboration with Mary Ann Jensen in 1977, they introduced a fifth stage called adjourning(5,8,7).
