Stages of Team Development & Role of Team Leader

The document outlines the typical stages of team development and the role of the team leader at each stage. The four stages are: forming, storming, norming, and performing. At the forming stage, the management style is directive and the team is moderately eager but dependent on authority. The leader's role is to clarify goals and foster inclusion. In the storming stage, conflicts emerge as hopes meet reality and a coaching style is needed from the leader to surface issues constructively. By the norming stage, trust and respect grow under a supporting leadership style. The final performing stage is marked by high productivity from a self-directed team with a facilitating leader ensuring work-life balance.
