Have you ever been part of a team or group?  Have you noticed how the group might have progressed through stages as it formed?  One researcher, by the name of Bruce Tuckman, studied this same phenomenon. 


This video provides a great summary of Tuckman’s work.  How can you apply the stages of small-group development to the teams in your organization?
