In the storming stage, tension starts to arise and so interpersonal disagreements due to the the feeling of uncertainty and confusion due to individual differences. While in the norming stage, they start to develop cohesion and learn how to trust one another. Team members begin to feel a sense of belongingness to the team and begin to express constructive criticism.

Forming Stage

The initial forming stage is where the members start to gather to form a group. In this stage, individuals behave respectfully towards one another because they are trying to fit in among the new group of people. Members of the group are extremely conscious of each other's skills and shortcomings as everyone is just getting to know each other.

In the forming stage, members are in the process of understanding their roles, group identity, and purpose. The members are usually polite to avoid conflicts as they are still getting to know each other and establishing trust. While in the storming stage, the members seek clarification on roles and expectations throughout the group development, shifting towards expressing opinions. The rise of conflicts usually happens in this stage as the members enter a discourse staking out their different viewpoints.

Norming Stage

The Norming Stage is where trust is established and where the member begins to set a foundation for cooperation, enabling the group to work more effectively as a team. In this stage, the members are more comfortable with each other as they express their viewpoints and share expectations in the process of collaboration toward their common goal.

The second stage of group development is called the "Storming Stage". This is where conflict and tension emerge as members assert their individuality, express their opinions, and establish their roles within the group. This phase sees increased competition and resistance to authority or group norms. This is the most critical phase but successfully navigating this phase fosters the development of mutual trust and respect within the group.

Forming Stage & Adjourning Stage may both involve emotional transitions among members as they respectively begin or end their journey as a group. In the Forming Stage, although uncertain, members may also feel excited as they establish relationships among members. While in the Adjourning Stage, as soon as they disband, members may experience satisfaction due to accomplishment or sadness as they part ways, depending on the result of their collaboration.

Early group development is characterized by the Forming and Storming stages. Though in various forms, conflict is present throughout these two stages. When the organization first forms, tension starts to build up between members as they seek leadership and authority within the team. The same is true during the storming period, when personal distinctions are more noticeable. Disagreements amongst team members develop conflict, therefore both phases must get past these challenges and learn to accept one another's differences.

Performing Stage vs Adjourning Stage

Both the performing stage and adjourning stage are crucial phases in the lifecycle of a group, marking significant points of transition and reflection. While the performing stage focuses on high productivity and synergy as the group works towards its goals, the adjourning stage centers on closure and transition as the group disbands. Despite their differences in focus, both stages involve a sense of camaraderie and shared experience among group members, as well as opportunities for reflection on achievements and the acknowledgment of contributions made by individuals.

Forming Stage & Performing Stage

During the Forming Stage, members may be hesitant to share their insights with the group as they are still getting to know each other and are conscious of how they appear to others. At this early stage, members may avoid taking risks and instead observe the interactions within the group. While in the Performing Stage, group members become more committed to supporting one another and working together to achieve their goals as they focus on accomplishing their tasks. They are more comfortable in this stage because they develop trust and a sense of shared purpose.

Adjourning Stage

The adjourning stage is like the closing scene of a play, also known as the "mourning" stage or "closure" stage. In this stage, the group disbands as the task is completed or the project comes to an end. Members may experience feelings of sadness or loss as they say goodbye to their teammates and the shared experience. It's a time for reflection on what was achieved and for individuals to transition to new roles or projects. It's when a team wraps up its project or task and goes their separate ways. Members reflect on what they've accomplished together and say goodbye. It's a bit like the end of summer camp, everyone goes back to their own lives, but they'll always remember the time they spent together.

The forming stage in group development marks the initial phase where members join and become familiar with each other and the group's purpose, while the adjourning stage occurs at the end of the group's task when members disengage and move on to other activities. In Forming Stage, there is no accomplished task yet because this is the phase where members met for the first time and is just getting to know each other. Furthermore, all members have no in-depth idea about the attitude or characteristics of others due to lack of experience. On the other hand, Adjourning Stage is the last step as the group will come to an end. The tasks are already accomplished and members have been through an experience wherein the characteristics of every individual has surfaced.

Usually following the Forming stage, when members are settling in and defining their responsibilities, the Storming stage takes place early in the group's formation. As members begin to establish themselves and compete for authority inside the organization, there may be arguments, power struggles, or confrontations during Storming. . Getting beyond these obstacles, fostering unity, and creating efficient teamwork strategies are the main goals of Storming. Conversely, the Adjourning stage occurs close to the conclusion of the group's lifetime, following the completion of the job or project. Group members part ways at this period to pursue different endeavors or positions. Speaking about the group's achievements, acknowledging its triumphs, and bidding adieu take precedence.
