The forming stage is characterized by dependency, and need for acceptance and guidance. In this stage the "meet and greet" is done. During the meet and greet each member gathers information that will determine the strength of potential relationships amongst group members, as well as establish group hierarchy. Generally, in this stage the leader of group is selected. The group leader has a tendency to be someone that is viewed as stable and

Joylyn, Ina, and Phoebe are responsible for organizing and setting up the tour by making reservation for hotels, restaurants, cruises, gate tickets, and more. In most of the time, they would make a reservation earlier and deliver special requests to the service provider from the client in order to have availability to everyone in the group and make our client feel that they are valued because we listen and we care.

In the article problematizing carceral tours by Justin Piché and Kevin Walby, the ways in which carceral tours are not beneficial for all members is highlighted. They state that some of the tours are scripted, in the hopes of setting a good impression for the public.

This is to ensure the prisoners and guards are not distracted and to assure their schedules are not interrupted. Institutional operations are put before the needs of the tours. In addition, prison tours are seen as dignity rupturing, which creates dishonourable tours.

The team is assembled and the task is allocated. Team members behave independently, with anxieties about inclusion and exclusion.
