Team Development and Consensus
A team plays an important role in an organization and is a viable tool of employee inspiration. It is essential to consider the way teams develop and mature over time. Team development builds a captivating environment by empowering co-operation, collaboration, reliance and by building trust among colleagues. Teams will experience four phases. Each phase of team development displays its own specific difficulties when gathering a group of individuals to strive to work together to effectively form a successfully united team. These phases are identified by Bruce Tuckman. The four phases of team development is forming, storming, norming, and performing (Know How NonProfit). In this paper I will discuss the four stages of team development, a healthcare leader’s role in leading teams and what can cause a team to be dysfunctional and what methods a leader can use to resolve the issues of a dysfunctional team.
Four Team Development Stages
Forming Phase
This is the first phase of team development. During this stage, the team will have no thoughts of their goals or expectations. The leader should clarify the goals and expectations with the team. By establishing this, the members of the team will have the capacity to set limits and in addition figure out what is expected of them. This builds dedication towards the bigger objective. A leader’s role during this phase is to assist the team in becoming acquainted with each other whether it is by doing group building activities or mentoring the team by listening and coaching them (EXPERTBASE). Storming Stage In this stage the team starts demonstrating their genuine styles. They start to see each other’s differences .This gives way to the team having disagreements. Conflicts may emerge and pressure will increase. As a leader it is important to display patience and consideration toward your team and their views. The leader should also again go over the objectives and expectation of each team member, so that they know their roles and what’s required of them (EXPERTBASE). Norming Stage If the team is able to effectively move through the storming phase this will mean the team has identified their purpose and objectives for accomplishing their goals. There is conflict resolution and more engagement as well as the team working together. The” I” can do this becomes a “We” can do this. The leader should ensure that this continues and that if the team begins to revert to old behaviors it should be handled correctly and diverted in the correct course. The norming phase is also a great time for the leader to motivate the team to feel comfortable with each other and with the systems they are using. Performing Stage When the team reaches this stage they are prepared, skilled, as well as able to do their own critical thinking. …show more content…
Direction for effective leadership should concentrate on the dynamic connections between leadership values, culture, and capacities. The leader should ensure that every member of the team recognizes and comprehends the organizations mission, vision and core values. They should be motivated to recognize what their objectives and targets are for fulfilling the organizations mission and vision while strengthening the organizations values and make them aware the consequences of their actions as well as urge them to concentrate on their endeavors of those tasks in order to accomplish their goals (Heathfield,
