Gibb's Group Development Model

Gibb’s Group Development Model outlines stages teams typically go through as they work together: starting with forming, where members get to know each other; storming, which involves conflicts over roles and ideas; norming, when the team establishes norms and cooperation improves; and performing, where the team effectively works toward goals. These stages help explain how groups develop trust and coordination over time. Recognizing these stages allows leaders to support their teams through challenges and enhance overall collaboration.
