and reliance on their employees. They don't

19. Team development
stages
 Forming: This is where team members first
meet. It’s important for team leaders to facilitate
the introductions and highlight each person’s
skills and background. Team members are also
given project details and the opportunity to
organize their responsibilities.
 Storming: At this stage, team members openly
share ideas and use this as an opportunity to
stand out and be accepted by their peers. Team
leaders help teams in this stage by having a plan
in place to manage competition among team
members, make communication easier, and make
sure projects stay on track. 11/18/2022

20. Cont..
 Norming: By now, teams have figured out how to work
together. There’s no more internal competition, and
responsibilities and goals are clear. Each person works
more efficiently because he or she has learned how to
share their ideas and listen to feedback while working
toward a common goal.
 Performing: There’s a high level of cohesion and trust
between team members. Teams are functioning at peak
efficiency with less oversight from team leaders. Issues still
come up, but at this point, teams have strategies for
resolving problems without compromising timelines and
progress.
 Adjourning: Teams complete their project and debrief on
what went well and what could be improved for future
projects. Afterwards, team members move on to new
projects. Now let’s look at how to use this model to amplify
the strengths within your remote marketing team so that
projects are successful and completed on time. 11/18/2022

unnecessary tension and anxiety. This is one of
the most important reasons why businesses
should encourage their employees to clearly
communicate with one another when working
together.
