Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: phases of grpup development

[jande5599 (jande5599]

We used to call these phases "Forming, Storming, Norming, and Conforming".

People who study group development note that groups generally go through
four phases of development.  How quickly they go through those phases (or,
whether or not the group survives past a particular phase) depends on the
way the group members can relate and adapt to one another. The phases
involve:  (1) initial formation [or re-formation, (2) greater participation
and conflict, (3) conflict avoidance, (4) full function.

Best,
Edie
