The Team Performance Model (Bruce Tuckman)

Bruce Tuckman's Team Performance Model describes the typical stages teams go through as they form and work together effectively. It includes four main phases: "Forming," where team members get to know each other; "Storming," where conflicts and disagreements may arise; "Norming," as members establish norms and collaborate more smoothly; and "Performing," when the team functions efficiently to achieve goals. Sometimes, teams cycle back through these stages as needed. This model helps understand team dynamics and guides leaders to support their teams through each phase for better collaboration and success.
