The document discusses Tuckman's model of group development stages and characteristics of effective teams. It outlines the forming stage where members explore personal and group goals and addresses initial tensions. Key aspects of effective groups are having clear and meaningful goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, rewarding and timed. Such goals help groups decide how to achieve their common objective when members understand, embrace and are committed to the goal. Competent team members and a collaborative climate also contribute to a group's effectiveness.
