Basic rules and norms focused on effective communication, group
decision making, honest feedback, and ownership of tasks
assigned
Group consistently worked well together and experienced little
conflict
Members were equally capable of serving as team leader and
exhibited strong leadership qualities, but were also capable of
taking direction
Dominate personality types focused on listening more, and
developing more effective communications during conference
calls
Team leader utilized a system of checks and balances for
productivity, and solicited feedback improvements and work life
balance.

7. Stages of Team Development: Norming
Team quickly resolved problems, utilized frequent text messaging, and
never missed weekly meetings 
Positive conference call discussion, and timely email
communications facilitated our ability to work together as a group.
A critical area in this stage for our group was providing honest
feedback on course deliverables.
Team utilized interpersonal and survey feedback to assess our
progress and make improvements
Became more comfortable with asking instructor for detailed
guidance

8. Stages of Team Development: Performing
Effective communications, continuous positive interactions, and
focus on overall goals, our team reached the “Performing”
stage swiftly
Group creativity, open feedback, friendly chats, and success
completing deliverables boosted team morale
Free expression and sharing the load helped us to perform,
and course grades were evidence of positive team
development
