What are the 4 stages of Tuckman’s model of group formation
1= Forming
2= Storming
3= Norming
4= Performing
Forming
- Short stage
- Get to know each other
- Will you fit in?
- Assessment made on strengths of the individual compared to strengths of others in the group
Storming
- Potential conflict for positions
- Coach/captain needs to intervene
- Act quickly to ensure players accept an alternative
Norming
- Once conflicts have been resolved the team begins to settle down
- Cooperate with the intention of achieving their goals
- Groups standards are accepted and cohesion occurs
Performing
- All players are interactive and working together to achieve their goals
- Team supports each other and understand their role in the team
