Adjourning stages of Team Development
As an active part of my community I
am a part of a lot of groups. Some groups I honestly have a hard time saying
goodbye to and others I really don’t have a hard time. Some groups it is almost
like I have grown to communicate with them like a family. They are listed in my
phone. I just ask siri to call them. Some groups I even have set in my calendar
on my phone they link to me as well. This year at my school we lost three
teachers that I am very close to. One is my mentor. These special ladies all
held high positions in my school. I had a hard time telling them goodbye. I
feel that they have all helped me grow into the teacher that I am today.
In the forming stage of a group I
don’t feel that it would be very hard to say goodbye to group members. I feel
that when you are in the forming stage you are just getting to know everyone in
the group and find your place; therefore, I feel that saying goodbye would be
quiet easy.
In the storming
stage of a group I feel that it would be a little harder to say goodbye to a
group because you are involved in making something happen. I feel that it would
be hard because when you are leaving someone would need to fill your spot to
make things continue to flow.
In the
norming stage of a group I feel that it would be hard to leave a group because
you are very comfortable with the group. You have settled in you know your part
in the group as well as what needs to happen. You would most likely be missed
if you left the group; however, they say it’s best to find something new when
you grow used to things. It might serve as a great learning tool.
In the performing
stage of a group it would be difficult to say good bye to a group because your
skills are most likely needed to perform the tasks in the group. It would leave
the group with a hole that needed to be filled.
In the adjourning
stage of a group it could be bitter sweet to leave a group but it would also
serve as an accomplishment, to have finished a task.
