Team dynamics are influenced by the personalities of team members and how they interact, which determines the team's performance and behavior. As workplaces increasingly rely on teams rather than individuals, teams have been proven to make better decisions than individuals working alone. Bruce Tuckman's five-stage model of team development includes forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning, as teams progress from initially meeting to completing their project goals and disbanding. Successful teams lead to successful businesses.
