A working relationship based on trust, respect and professionalism will enable all members to feel part of a “team” all members should be given the information and any resources necessary to make sure that they can “fulfill” their role . Where there are difficulties these should be identified as soon

Forming is when a group comes together for the first time and everyone tries to get to know each other. This is the first stage. No roles are placed within the team and many members are feeling multiple feelings like anxiousness, nervousness, and some might be clueless on the work. I have experienced forming when I played softball for the Mooresville Recreation Department in my town. The rec department would blindly place girls

Bruce W Tuckman (1965) developed a model to describe the differing stages of team development. He gave us a way of interpreting the various stages groups pass through into making an effective team. As you can see from the illustration below, teams go

As it is being stated earlier that this paper will be discussing about team development and it will then explain the theories of teamwork and team development. Team development is defined as the improvement of the efficacy of working in teams or groups by advancing goal progressions (Eyre, 2015). Bruce Tuckman firstly identified the four stages of team development in the mid 60s (Eyre, 2015). These stages are; Forming, Storming, Norming and Performing. In the 1970s Dr Bruce Tuckman added the fifth stage, which is Adjourning (Businessballs.com, 2015). Dr Bruce also mentioned that this theory is a helpful and beneficial description of team development (Businessballs.com, 2015).

Several team development models and theories have been published, particularly over the last few decades. One of the most widely known and referred to models is the Tuckman and Jensen five-stage team development model (Miller, 2003). Tuckman, an educational psychologist and researcher born in 1938, first introduced his four stages of team development in 1965: forming, storming, norming and performing and along with Jensen in 1977, later modified it into a five-stage version through the addition of adjourning. Tuckman proposed that a team’s interactions, functions and efficacy altered between stages and that in order for team to be effective, it needs to go through the first three stages: forming, storming and norming. Since then, numerous other

The importance of understanding cultural, ethnic and gender differences by managers and professionals in a business setting is essential to make the work environment comfortable. In every culture there are basic standards of thinking, and acting and these cultural differences strongly influence workplace values and communication. What may be considered acceptable and natural in the workplace for one person may be unacceptable for another person. People from diverse cultures bring new ways of thinking, creativity and language skills needed to survive in today’s work force. In many

Bruce W. Tuckman is an educational psychologist from Princeton University. In 1960’s, he proposed Tuckman’s Stages of Team Development.  It is widely known as a basis for effective team building. It is describes four stages of useful development: forming, storming, norming and performing. In the 1970’s, Tuckman and other authors have added adjourning as the fifth stage. Tuckman's model explains that as the team's growth, ability and building the relationship. However, this is the most frequently cited if compared to the other models of group development that have been proposed. Every team has to go through these stages so that their work can do smoothly, completely and perfectly. (Alan Chapman, 2009)

The issues as described in this case study stem from a lack of communication between the staff nurse and her nurse manager. Apparently until the nurse's performance appraisal she was under the belief that her performance was satisfactory, however the nurse manager used the evaluation as an opportunity to surface past performance deficits and failed to acknowledge any areas of excellence. This had the effect of leaving the staff nurse feeling underappreciated and devalued. The fact that the staff nurse felt the nurse manager's comments seemed "out of the blue" attests to this lack of communication. As a result the level of stress and anxiety of the staff nurse has been heightened due to a lack of trust, and communication between the two, which did not appear to be first-rate in the first place, has gotten worse. Moreover, the manner in which the nurse manager leveled her criticisms at the staff nurse demonstrates a lack of appropriate leadership skills and is indicative of a culture that seems bereft of a "team" concept.

Remember that each person hails from different cultural backgrounds. This affects their manner of dressing, their personal hygiene, and even their general behavior. While you should maintain respect for diversity and individuality, you should also make it clear to workers that they must learn to embrace the cultural standards of the organization. There is no reason why cultural differences should affect productivity in the workplace or cause discord among workers.

However, the hiring process does have costs attached to it, recruitment cost – acquiring applicant campus visits; selection cost – interviewing applicants; training cost – investing in applicant; and separation cost – layoffs, which also has to be taken into consideration during the hiring process because it has a major
