people: *The sequence of a team developing.* This reminds me of [[The best indicator of future conflict is past unresolved conflict]], when teams are able to work through their conflict and resolve it, they are able to move onto the next phase. It's kind of like [[Teaming by Amy Edmondson]] as a series of steps as opposed to just a single event. Other concepts that work like this are [[love]] relationships as in [[The 5 love languages]] going through phases, [[Creating]] through [[Design thinking]] goes through a series of stages, and other idas like [[Designing Curricula]] goes through a series of stages. Each of these could be quasi teaming activities. What is it? The forming–storming–norming–performing model of group development was first proposed by Bruce Tuckman in 1965, who said that these phases are all necessary and inevitable in order for a team to grow, face up to challenges, tackle problems, find solutions, plan work, and deliver results. As Tuckman knew these inevitable phases were critical to team growth and development, he hypothesized that along with these factors that interpersonal relationships and task activity would enhance the four-stage model that is needed to successfully navigate and create an effective group function. > [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuckman's%20stages%20of%20group%20development) ![[CleanShot 2023-07-01 at 10.29.57.jpg]] Why does it matter? [[Leading]] behaviors vary through the different stages. A "team in process" is different than a team that has been created and is already performing. This is like the [[SimZones]], faculty need different behaviors at different phases of the development path when they move from Teaching to Coaching to Facilitating. This is related to phases of [[relational coordination]] and [[ad hoc team]] behaviors. Some teams exist only for the day, so [[Circle Up]] can help those teams get created during the process of team creation and team dissolving. And what else? Teams may need to add an **Adjourning** phase, a specific letting go. ##### What would the opposite argument be? In an ad hoc team, one question is, Who is the best leader for this situation? How do we simultaneously identify what is the situation of there is high uncertainty, and thus who should do what? tags: #note/statement | #on/team | #on/leadership ##### Sources: Tuckman, Bruce W (1965).
