    What makes a Team?
    A group of people with different skills and
    different tasks, who work together on a
    common project, service, or goal, with a
    meshing of functions and mutual support
    Tuckman and Jenson’s stages of Team
    Development
    • Forming
    • Storming
    • Norming
    • Performing
    • Adjourning
    Forming
    • In this stage, most team members are positive
    and polite. Some are anxious, as they haven't
    fully understood what work the team will do.
    Others are simply excited about the task ahead.
    • As leader, you play a dominant role at this stage,
    because team members' roles and responsibilities
    aren't clear.
    • This stage can last for some time, as people start
    to work together, and as they make an effort to
    get to know their new colleagues.
    Storming
    • Next, the team moves into the storming phase, where
    people start to push against the boundaries established
    in the forming stage. This is the stage where many
    teams fail.
    • Storming often starts where there is a conflict between
    team members' natural working styles. People may
    work in different ways for all sorts of reasons but, if
    differing working styles cause unforeseen problems,
    they may become frustrated.
    • Storming can also happen in other situations. For
    example, team members may challenge your authority,
    or jockey for position as their roles are clarified.
    • Some may question the worth of the team's goal, and
    they may resist taking on tasks.
    Norming

    • Gradually, the team moves into the norming stage. This is


    when people start to resolve their differences, appreciate
    colleagues' strengths, and respect your authority as a
    leader.
    • Now that your team members know one another better,
    they may socialize together, and they are able to ask one
    another for help and provide constructive feedback. People
    develop a stronger commitment to the team goal, and you
    start to see good progress towards it.
    • There is often a prolonged overlap between storming and
    norming, because, as new tasks come up, the team may
    lapse back into behavior from the storming stage.
    Performing

    • The team reaches the performing stage, when hard


    work leads, without friction, to the achievement of the
    team's goal. The structures and processes that you
    have set up support this well.
    • As leader, you can delegate much of your work, and
    you can concentrate on developing team members.
    • It feels easy to be part of the team at this stage, and
    people who join or leave won't disrupt performance.
    Adjourning

    • Many teams will reach this stage eventually. For


    example, project teams exist for only a fixed
    period, and even permanent teams may be
    disbanded through organizational restructuring.
    • Team members who like routine, or who have
    developed close working relationships with
    colleagues, may find this stage difficult,
    particularly if their future now looks uncertain.
    Team Processes
    • Importance of TP
    • Team Improvement
    • Strategic ways to build trust within teams
    • Cohesion
    • Understanding the super ordinate goals
    • Synergize
    Team Process
    • To enhance the communication and
    participation
    • To encourage the team for active participation
    • Team processes provide the support,
    structure and guidance teams need to grow,
    get results and lead change in the workplace.

    Team Improvement
    Strategies to build the trust in the
    team

    What is trust?
    • Provide all learning resources, tools and
    opportunities
    • Provide all adequate information about
    the decision taken
    • Seek the input prior making decision
    • Consistently act in alignment with
    company values
    • Give employees an inspiring shared
    Purpose to work toward
    Super ordinate goal
    • Super ordinate goals are goals that get people from
    opposing sides to come together and work toward a
    common end result. For example, if you have two
    groups of people that seriously dislike each other you
    might set up a situation in which they simply have to
    work together in order to be successful (e.g., maybe
    the two groups get lost in the jungle together and the
    only way they survive is to work together - hey, it could
    happen :). This breaks down barriers, encourages
    people to see each other as just people and not as part
    of "that other group that we dislike", and can help
    overcome differences between the groups.
    Synergize
    • The English word “synergy” may sound like an
    overwrought business buzzword, but
    it’s actually classical in origin. It comes from
    the Greek roots “sun” (meaning “together”)
    and “ergon” (meaning work). The conjugation
    was passed on to the Romans, who used it to
    mean “cooperation,” and then was passed to
    English in the mid-1800s.
    How to synergize the team?
    • Be Clear
    In order for a team to cooperate properly, everyone on the
    team needs to know what the objective is, and everyone’s
    objective needs to be the same. Different team members will
    obviously be filling different functions in pursuit of that goal,
    but different objectives create chaos and conflict
    • Communicate
    Once everyone knows where the hoop is, the team needs to
    communicate so each player knows what his or her
    teammates need from them. Naturally, most of the
    communication happens in the planning phases, whether it’s
    a sports team or a business team.
    • Empowerment
    • Showing your team that you have faith in their abilities and
    that you trust them to do their job well is the most important
    job a team leader has. And a team with no faith in itself is not
    likely to succeed.
    • Commitment
    Finally, being a member of a team requires personal
    commitment and dedication to the overall success of a team.
    Success requires dedication, and dedication is predicated on
    commitment.
    Understanding team differences
    • Value the team differences
    • Make use of skills , abilities and styles
    • Understand the roles and responsibilities of
    yours and others
    • Focus on goals, objectives and tasks
    • Setting goals
    • Involving
    • Supporting
