Group Development

Orientation Called “Forming” in Robbin’s model Uncertainty about purpose, structure & leadership Members are “testing the waters”

Dissatisfaction Called “Storming” in Robbin’s model Characterized by intragroup conflict Members accept the existence of the team, but

individuals resist the constraints on their individual style

Group Development

Resolution Called “Norming” in Robbin’s model Characterized by cohesiveness, identity, structure,

and a set of expectations Members develop closer relationships

Productivity Called “Performing” in Robbin’s model Structure of the team is fully functioning Members’ energy has moved from getting to know

phases to getting the work done

Group Development

Robbin’s model includes a final phase called “Adjourning”

This would be characterized by a temporary committee completing a task or achieving results based upon a goal

Your team may go through these five stages twice…

Group Orientation / Forming

382 Instructor formed the initial teams

The Management Plan process was designed to help you frame your purpose

Instructor(s) offered insight into structure, but what your team did/does and how it got/gets accomplished was/is your business

Round I in 382 & Round II in 383

Group Dissatisfaction / Storming

What did your team experience in Round I?Where was your storm? The team itself? One individual? Your management position? Your week of management? Formal vs. informal leadership?

In Round II (383), any “storms” are usually weaker!

Group Resolution / Norming

Behavioral NormsTeam “Code of Conduct”Examples: Consensus Communication Commitment Conduct
