When working groups with other people, there are ways to
make a group successful in what it is trying to achieve. When you first are
making a group, you are actually doing the first step which is the
"forming" of the group. This is probably the most natural part of a
group seeing as people can come together to form a group if they have similar
thoughts or ideas. A prime example of this is a sports team, because a bunch of
people come together because of their love of the sport they are playing.
The second step of being in a group is the
"storming" process. Now this process can cause many problems in a
group seeing as this is the part where the members can bump heads with one
another and voice their own opinions. This is the best time to for people to be
selfish and let out all their thoughts in order to eventually come to a
compromise with the others within the group. If you can't compromise how can
you work together? This brings us to the third step, the "norming"
process which is basically achieved from the members all working in good
cohesion.
The fourth step that is "performing" which is one
of the most crucial parts considering not all groups manage to make it this far
in the grouping process. In this phase members are just well-oiled machines
that are doing their tasks well without problems. The reason why groups fail to
get this far is because of setbacks that sometimes can't be overcome. But, when
overcome it’s a great thing, the final phase or step is the 'adjourning"
which is basically the ending point where you can reflect on what you have
done. Have you ever got to experience a job well done?
