Leading a Team: 02. Team Building and the Tuckman Model

Many different factors can impact a team’s success including social dynamics, expectations, and levels of skill and experience. But bringing the best people together doesn’t automatically create a great team. Team building and development need to occur first. In this course, we’ll take a look at the Tuckman model and it’s five stages of team development. According to this theory, teams typically go through five phases as they grow more cohesive and learn to be productive as a group. Here, we’ll talk about what these phases might look like on your team and how to lead your team through each stage to success.
