Moderately eager
Have generally positive expectations
Have some anxiety about why they are there and what it all means
Have some anxiety about other members such as who they are and what they are like
During orientation,
How to approach Goals, and what skills are needed.
The length of this stage will depend on how clearly the task is defined.
This is an important stage because it serves to clarify the team's mission and bond team members.

outcome.

Stages of Team DevelopmentStages of Team Development
D issatisfaction (Storming)This stage is characterized by:
argument
conflict
a dip in morale
It results from differences between initial expectations and the reality of the situation as
perceived by the members. Members may have varying opinions of what the group was to
do and how to accomplish it. Members are also beginning to confront the differences in their
personalities and values, a condition that is present anytime strangers meet. Members may
feel anger or frustration with the task or with other members or may even resent thepresence of formal leadership.
Generally, the dissatisfaction stage is relatively short. Some groups, however, may become
stuck in this stage and continue to be both demoralized and relatively unproductive. In the
worst cases, some groups never emerge from this stage and, if possible, disband in
frustration.

TerminationIn the case of temporary teams such as task forces, design teams, and problem
solving teams, a fifth stage reflects the ending of the process.
Depending on the team's success in accomplishing its task and how strongly the
members have bonded, this stage may reflect either a sense of loss or relief. Whena team ends, time should be spent addressing how it should be done to properly
recognize the team's accomplishments.
