I have a tendency to avoid obvious things and suggest unusual ideas I just have a talent to make everything work, as soon as we make a plan I’m capable of finding logical arguments and correctly behave in order to prove that some ideas are unreasonable I never fight if my point of view is not supported by the majority I’m interested to learn my co-workers better What’s your typical approach to a teamwork? People can rely on me in the question of organizing their work I guess that my ability to think straight can help us to make the right decision I’m looking for the most modern solutions and ideas

I am always ready to support a great idea for the benefit of the team Other people can be sure that I will bring something unique and original I am ready to demand people doing something in order to make sure we aren’t wasting time and still follow our goals My typical vigilance helps me to prevent failures and mistakes that occur due to lack of attentiveness I have an ability to influence their opinions without pressure When you are working on the project with other people: My co-workers want me to be worried about details and the possible wrong choices and actions

As a result, I can’t follow the discussion I have a tendency to get carried away with the ideas that come to my mind. I find it hard to be at the front line of leadership: perhaps, I am too sensitive to the atmosphere in a team I might be seen as a rigid and authoritative person, especially if there’s something that should be done My objectivity makes it difficult for me to easily join my co-workers with enthusiasm I have a tendency to be talkative when the group starts discussing new ideas I have a tendency to be loyal to the others, especially to those people who have reasonable opinion but never show off I won’t feel relaxed until our gathering is thoroughly prepared and successfully organized What are your weakness when working in a team? I can suggest a reasonable idea or alternative option without being biased Usually I have a clear feeling what can be realistic for the task and actually work I am ready to express unpopular opinion and be disliked for that, if it brings the necessary result in the end My ability to stick to the plan until the end is tightly related to my high efficiency at work My ability is to detect people who are like a breath of fresh air in the team Instead, maintaing in the team becomes one of its prime objectives.I think that I can easily see new prospects and use them for team’s benefit Groupthink occurs to the extent that the group may be unaware of changing circumstances. More recently a 5th stage has been added to Tuckman's original four.ĭorming – If a team remains for a long time in the performing phase, there is a danger that it will be operating on automatic pilot. (Tuckman 1965 - page 78 in the 2001 reprint). This stage can be labelled as performing. Structural issues have been resolved, and structure can now become supportive of task performance. Roles become flexible and functional, and group energy is channeled into the task. In the task realm, intimate, personal opinions are expressed.įinally, the group attains the fourth and final stage in which interpersonal structure becomes the tool of task activities. Resistance is overcome in the third stage in which in-group feeling and cohesiveness develop, new standards evolve, and new roles are adopted. These behaviours serve as resistance to group influence and task requirements and may be labelled as storming. The second point in the sequence is characterised by conflict and polarisation around interpersonal issues, with concomitant (being parallel with) emotional responding in the task sphere. It may be said that orientation, testing and dependence constitute the group process of forming. Such testing serves to identify the boundaries of both interpersonal and task behaviours.Ĭoincident with testing in the interpersonal realm is the establishment of dependency relationships with leaders, other group members, or pre-existing standards. Groups initially concern themselves with orientation accomplished primarily through testing.
