Question

Identify the stages of group development in tuckman's 5 stage model and briefly discuss the differemces between the 5 stafe model and gersick's punctuated equilbrim model.

Answer 1

Stages

• Forming
• Stroming
• Norming
• Performing
• Adjourning

Forming

• Set a meeting
• Learn about the challenges
• Learn about the Opportunities
• And finally set the goal
• Bigin making tasks

Storming

• The groups attain trust with each other
• Evryone starts to keep presenting their openions
• This may arise in conflicts
• All the conflicts are overcome by spiriting the team work
• Task is described by the team leader to members

Norming

• Members work for the success of the goal of group
• They understand each other and try avoid clashes

Performing

• Members are motivated
• They are knowledged
• members are now competent, autonomous and able to handle the decision-making process without supervision

Adjourning

• completing the task and breaking up the team

DIfferences between 5 state model and gersicks puntuated equilibrium model

• Gersick’s model suggests the 5-stage model may be unrealistic.
• Gersick proposes that groups do not necessarily progress linearly from one step to another
• no predetermined sequence
• alternate between periods of inertia and bursts of energy as work groups develop.
• This contradicts the tuckmans model
