Creating and Developing a Functioning Group

Building a cohesive team starts with understanding the dynamics of group formation. According to Bruce Tuckman’s model, teams typically go through five stages of development: Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing, and Adjourning(12).

1. Forming: This initial stage involves team members getting to know each other and understanding the team’s objectives. It’s crucial to establish clear goals and roles during this phase.

2. Storming: As members start to work together,  conflicts may arise due to differing opinions and working styles. Effective conflict resolution and open communication are key to navigating this stage.

3. Norming: Here, the team begins to establish norms and mutual understanding. Collaboration improves, and members start to work more cohesively.

4. Performing: At this stage, the team operates efficiently towards achieving its goals. Members are highly motivated and work seamlessly together.

Coaching Team Members Appropriately

Effective coaching is vital for team success. It involves understanding each team member’s strengths and areas for development, providing constructive feedback, and fostering a supportive environment(34). Here are some key strategies:

• Emotional Intelligence: Being aware of and managing your own emotions, as well as understanding and influencing the emotions of others, is crucial for effective coaching.

• Individual Strengths: Tailor your coaching approach to each team member’s unique strengths and development needs.

• Empowerment: Encourage team members to take ownership of their roles and responsibilities. Empowerment leads to increased motivation and productivity.

• Feedback: Provide regular, constructive feedback to help team members grow and improve. Celebrate their achievements and guide them through challenges.
