The employers can identify the trickymoves of the team members to make the speedy success of the organization. In the performingteams the employees give their best because they want to be the best among another employees.In addition, in the adjourning stage, when the task is completed and the team members shift toanother sections, they feel good about what they have achieved. The team members are ofdifferent types including the plant (source of original ideas), the coordinator, the shaper,evaluator, team worker, the implementer and specialist.
