The development consists of a forming stage that tests the boundaries within the team, a storming stage that reveals personal resistance to group tasks, a norming stage that expresses personal options and a performing stage that fully supports the team performance (Tuckman, 1965).

Some of the skills that also contributed to the effectiveness of the group were Mayor Echterling’s focusing skills, which he used during the drug enforcement and road repair discussions to keep members from spending to much time on a subject or deviating too much from the conversation (Toseland and Rivas 2017).
