5 stages of Development Group
The following is a brief explanation about the 5 (five) stages of development the group is by Bruce Tuckman:
Formation (Forming)
“It is characterize by orientation, politeness, testing, and clarifying goals for the group. Disagreements are unacknowledged if they are present.”
This stage is the first stage in the formation of the Working Group. The members began to study the give task and get acquainted with other members. This Forming stage characterize by the large number of uncertainties, members of the group are still not very clear about the purpose and Objective of the group. Feel confusion, still hide the feeling of each one, his involvement is still lacking.
The onset of the conflict (Storming)
The second stage is the stage of the onset of a conflict which, It is called Storming. The members started working but they will tend to maintain their own opinion, reject the limitations set by the Group against the individual they are. This Storming stage has been characterize by conflict Intra Group. Some of the signs that the Group was in the stage of Storming is the incidence of anger, feelings of discomfort, annoying, occurrence of options and failure.
Normalization (Norming)
The third stage is the stage of Normalization (Norming). Namely Phase close relationships form between members of the Group. It sets the rules and find the right way of communication in order to help them achieve the desired goals. Signs of the group are in the stage of Norming is the existence of a review and description of the Objective/purpose of the group. The incidence of the friendship and cooperation between members of the group. Begin to hear the opinions of other members and can to identify the strengths and weaknesses of it.

At this stage is that all members can achieve the duty without any problems, but they want to develop the term in regard to interpersonal development. A leader should concentrate on developing performance of the team.
