Six Secrets Of Powerful Teams: A Practical Guide To The Magic Of Motivating And Influencing Teams - Plot & Excerpts
It is vitally important to allow a sense of completion for the team members. Otherwise, there remains a festering feeling of “unfinished” business. The final stage of team development, adjourning, or mourning, occurs as members disband once their jobs are done—hopefully after the task is completed successfully and its purpose fulfilled. Attention is directed toward wrapping up activities and moving on to new tasks, activities, and projects. In this stage, team members remain upbeat because of their accomplishments and they feel good about what's been achieved. Others might be depressed due to feelings of loss or stress or because they have looked to the team for positive reinforcement, feelings of self-worth, and personal achievement. Leading the Adjourning Stage The adjourning stage is often initiated by a brief period of review and reflection upon completion of the project, i.e., a debriefing process. This can occur in the form of summative assessment or as reflective responses to questions about process and effectiveness.
