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
