A team is winding up a challenging project that it has been working on for some time. Next week, the same team will go on to a new project with quite different challenges.Which stage of the group development model is this team likely to be going through?
A、Norming
B、Dorming
C、Adjourning
A、Norming
B、Dorming
C、Adjourning
【参考答案及解析】
Rationale： Adjourning is where the group sees itself as having fulfilled its purpose, and there is aprocess of disconnecting from the task and group - because there will have to be a renegotiation of aims and roles for the new task. Dorming is where a group grows complacent about performance. Norming is a much earlier stage in the cycle, where the group reaches agreement about work methods, roles and behaviours.Pitfalls： Dorming and adjourning are all late stages of group development, and can be confused if you are not clear about them. Although 'forming, storming, norming and performing' is better known, these additional stages are part of Tuckman's model.
