The five stages of
team development forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning each of
these stages provides team with a sense of direction. The stages help with the
performance of how well a group performs.
As I reflect on the stages of team development the most difficult stage
is that of adjourning. In the adjourning
stage you are taken the final steps in meeting the team goals. Reflecting on the groups in which I have been
involved in I would say the hardest group that was for me to leave was my high
school graduating class. I say this is the group because this group was the
group that I went through from the beginning of my school journey to the
end. Participating in the class
graduation was the ritual that I experienced and enjoyed at the time. I imagine that I will adjourn from this group
of colleagues in a different manor for some of my colleagues will actually
participate in the graduation ceremony where at this particular moment I will
not be participating in the ceremony. The stage of adjourning plays a major
role in the stage of teamwork because of the bond that is built between each of
the team member.
I will not be attending my graduation either because it is to far and I do not have the money to travel right now. Adjourning plays a very important role in teamwork.
ReplyDeleteThe last attending of a high school graduation is very important. This is the hardest group to leave. But the best thing is coming back together again with many different stories and lesson learned. Adjouring from a group is hard even if the group was a group you did not like working with. There are some member in the group you can always talk to and member that you can love see leave.
