Now Departing: “Storming”, Next Stop: “Norming”

It’s the calm after the storm. The battles have been fought, the decisions have been made, and now the dust is settling. Your team has made it to the Norming stage of Tuckman’s Model of Group Development!

Really you should be celebrating, because not all teams make it to this stage; some teams get too bogged down in ‘My Way or The Highway’ thinking, but you have learned and mastered the magic word of the Norming stage while building a team: Compromise.

Your team has decided to put the well-being of the group as a whole ahead of individual wants, desires and opinions. You’ve come up with a concrete plan and are coming together to ensure your team’s success. In other words…

The train has left the station!
