Effective team and performance management

Climbing Mount Everest
Educational psychologist Bruce Tuckman (Rickards and Moger, 2000) developed a simple, yet elegant four stage model to help explain team development and related behavior. It is based on the premise that all groups go through predictable, developmental stages and that one of the roles of leadership is to facilitate the group working through the tasks of each developmental stage. A group may cycle back through these stages when there are changes in their purpose, goals, membership or operations.

My group was only me and another person therefore the communication was quite easy but in my opinion a team should have four or five members to be more comprehensive with more ideas and solution to sort the problems.
As we were a group of two and we were friends for long we did not need to test our personalities and we both knew how to form an organized team. It should start testing their boundaries of interpersonal and task behaviors. After that we continued with the storming process where we found more issues and difficulties. Even though we were just two we had completely different solutions so as a team we tried to use the opposite point of view to improve/support our idea and with that develop our team solution.
It was difficult to define a leader in my group but in larger groups a leader should exist because: * Initiates action- Leader is a person who starts the work by communicating the policies and plans to the subordinates from where the work actually starts. | * Motivation- A leader proves to be playing an incentive role in the concern’s working. He motivates the employees with economic and non-economic rewards and thereby gets the work from the subordinates. | * Providing guidance- A leader has to not only supervise but also play a guiding role for the subordinates. Guidance here means instructing the subordinates the way they have to perform their work effectively and efficiently. | * Creating confidence- Confidence
