-Tuckman’s cycle
In 1965, Bruce Tuckman, an educational psychologist, suggested that most groups go through four stages in group interactionas and described them as Forming, Storming, Norming and Performing. He did this after he had observed many small groups in various environments and concluded that all groups went through certain "stages" before they became optimally effective. Name of stage | Description of stage and scenario | Forming | The first stage is forming; this is an important stage because the forming of the team takes place. This stage is also called “ice-breaking” because it is a stage where all the team members get to know each other and become friendly, they are unsure about who everybody is and what their roles are. The individual’s behavior is driven by a desire to be accepted by the others, and avoid controversy or conflict.The psychologist, doctor and surgeon should meet and discuss about the situation, sharing informations concerns and questions. | Storming | The second stage is storming; at this stage the individual start to show their real feelings and their personalities too. …show more content…
This is because they start to relax and be comfortable around others in their group. Also others in the group may start to have conflict were they have different opinions about ideas, and they don't agree on others, relationships between members will be made or broken and some may never recover. In extreme cases the team can become stuck in the Storming phaseThe professionals starts questioning themselves what their role and duties in the group are or what they are responsible for. Each professional should say what their solution is and how long it will take, followed by the risk that will come with it. This is a stage where patience is fundamental as there will be disagreements and they will avoid listening to each other; this is the reason why it will take time. | Norming | As the team moves out from the storming phase they enter the third stage which is norming; this is when the group starts working as a team after having had their arguments and they start to trust themselves as they accept the vital contribution of each member of the team. The team members know each other better, they may be socializing together, and they are able to ask each other for help.At this stage they all should bring the ideas together and reach a conclusion on what they are going to do. They start working as a team and must agree with the decisions made, and if they do not agree they should at least follow the team to avoid the time being wasted. They need to take in consideration how dangerous the procedure will be. | Performing | This is the last stage. Many groups never reach the performing stage. Everyone knows each other well enough to be able to work together, and trusts each other enough to allow independent activity. There is a high level of accepting others, listening to others, and helping others. Performance is delivered through people working effectively together.The team has come to a conclusion and their plan will be applied soon. A timeline needs to be made |
