Tuckerman’s Stages of Group Development (light version)
Slide Content
The PowerPoint slide outlines Tuckerman's Stages of Group Development, with four key stages depicted. The first stage is "FORMING," where the team meets and learns about the opportunities and challenges, establishing the group's foundation. The second stage, "STORMING," sees the group starting to sort itself out and gaining trust among members, typically characterized by conflict and competition. The "NORMING" stage occurs when all team members take responsibility and work towards the group's success, indicating progress and cohesion. Lastly, the "PERFORMING" stage is when the team becomes competent, with members making decisions independently and the team functioning effectively. An additional stage, "ADJOURNING," represents the team disbanding after the project is finished and members moving on to new tasks, thus closing the group's lifecycle.
Graphical Look
- The slide has a light blue band on the top with the title in dark blue text.
- Each stage of development is symbolized by a hexagonal icon with a symbol in the center, connected by a horizontal line.
- Icons are colored differently - yellow for "FORMING," green for "STORMING," red for "NORMING," and dark blue for "PERFORMING."
- Below each hexagon, the stage's name is noted in bold with a colored line matching the icon above it.
- Each stage has its own description field in the form of a gray parallelogram with rounded angles.
- There is an additional pentagon-shaped icon in light blue for the "ADJOURNING" stage on the right.
- A horizontal arrow traverses the slide, pointing from left to right, indicating progression through stages.
The slide has a clean and professional appearance with a structured layout that guides the viewer's eyes from left to right. The use of color coding and geometric shapes provides an easy-to-follow visual representation of the group development process.
