The Wild World of Team Dynamics: Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing, and Adjourning

This video delivers an informative and humorous quick take on team dynamics. It covers all five phases of team development: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning.

In 1965, Dr. Bruce W. Tuckman introduced the world to the four phases of team dynamics: Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing. In 1977, Dr. Tuckman along with his colleague Mary Ann C. Jensen added Adjourning as the fifth phase. This video highlights all five phases.

TRANSCRIPT
==========

Buckle up. You're about to embark on a thrilling journey through the wild world of team dynamics via the five phases of team development.

Forming: This is where the team members first come together, starry-eyed and full of hope, like a group of superheroes assembling for the first time. "We're going to change the world!" they exclaim, as they exchange awkward handshakes and try to remember each other's names.

Storming: The honeymoon phase is over, and now the team members are realizing that not everyone shares the same vision for saving the world. Conflicts arise, debates ensue, and some members may even question their life choices. It's like a reality TV show, but with more spreadsheets and fewer hot tubs.

Norming: After the storm comes the calm. The team members have weathered the storm and are now starting to find their groove. They establish norms and expectations, like a well-oiled machine. It's like a synchronized swimming routine for superheroes, but with less water and more TPS reports.

Performing: This is the sweet spot, where the team is firing on all cylinders. They're efficient, effective, and unstoppable. It's like watching a group of superheroes finally defeating the supervillain, except the supervillain is a looming deadline.

Adjourning: All good things must come to an end, and so must our team's journey. The project is complete, the world is saved, and it's time for the team members to go their separate ways (where applicable). It's like the end of a Marvel movie, but with more exit interviews and fewer post-credit scenes.
