Document Summary
Group development: examines how groups form and evolve as they try to balance the complex and contradictory dialectic tensions inevitable in group work, most groups need to move through at least 4 stages to achieve maximum effectiveness. Emergence: reinforcing, dependent and inclusion, work and productivity. Termination: all three of these models are linear; describing developmental stages as small changes that follow one another in a fixed path, most groups (cid:449)ork i(cid:374) the sa(cid:373)e stage u(cid:374)til the(cid:455)"re (cid:373)oti(cid:448)ated to (cid:373)o(cid:448)e to a(cid:374)other stage. If the group goal is clear and cooperating the group is more likely to move through the stages with ease. Adjourning: members socially cautious and polite compete for status and openly disagree resolve status conflicts and establish norms assume appropriate roles and work productively disengage and relinquish responsibilities. Forming stage: members explore their personal goals and group goals with caution, about orientating group to itself.
