[ASSESSMENT 2] –
EFFECTIVE TEAM
WORK AND
COMMUNICATION

STAGES OF TEAM DEVELOPMENT
• For every team, in order to
increase coordination and
communication, there is a
detailed process or stages
through which every team
member goes before they are
able to work in a coherent
and cohesive manner.

Forming
• Here, team members at Busy Bee
basically get acquainted with each
other and understand what are the key
duties of different team members.
• Different team members in Busy Bee
Nurseries, begin asking questions such
as what is their benefit or what is in
there for them while becoming a part
of the team.

Storming and Norming
• Storming:
• The storming is the second stage where conflicts and arguments begin.
• The individual personalities of team members at Busy Bee starts surfacing and they try to overpower
each other.
• The team performance also tends to decline as energy is focused onto unproductive areas.
• Norming:
• The third stage is the one where conflicts start getting resolved and the team members start
understanding each other.
• At this stage, consensus is created where team members understand the position and role of each other
and are ready to work with each other.

Performing and Adjourning
Performing:
• This is the most rewarding stage in any team where the team members
are perfectly coordinated and organized.
• Members at Busy Bee understand very well what are the different
aspects associated with the fulfilment of their job roles.
Adjourning:
• This is the last stage of team development indicating that majority of
team goals have been achieved.
• At this stage team members of Busy Bee focuses on finishing up the
task that has been given and obtain the ultimate results.
