What will be an ideal response?
*Forming. In the first stage of group development the members meet for the first time, get to know each
other, and try to understand where they fit within the team structure. During this period, team members
will be polite to each other and tend to avoid conflict
*Storming. After a period of time, tensions may arise between members and different personalities might
clash, leading to conflict within the team
*Norming. The team members resolve the conflict and begin to work well together and become more
cohesive
*Performing. The team becomes invested in achieving its goals and operates as a unit. At this stage,
there is high loyalty and trust among members
*Adjourning. When individuals either leave the team or have no reason to be in further contact with their
teammates
