In Tuckman's model, which stage follows the storming phase?

In Tuckman's model of group development, the stage that follows the storming phase is the norming stage. During the storming phase, group members often experience conflict as differences in personalities and working styles come to the forefront. This can lead to challenges in communication and collaboration.

Once the group navigates through the storming phase, they move into the norming stage. In this phase, members begin to establish norms and rules for their interactions, developing a mutual respect for each other’s contributions. They start to work collaboratively towards common goals, allowing for a more cohesive group dynamic. Members become more open to feedback, and relationships strengthen as they agree on the group's processes and develop a greater sense of unity.

This stage is crucial for the development of a productive group environment, setting the foundation for even more effective collaboration in the subsequent performing stage, where the group fully engages in delivering its objectives. Understanding these phases helps in managing group dynamics effectively and fostering a supportive atmosphere conducive to collective success.
