We have all worked in a group or team at some point in our careers. A team is brought together to achieve a common goal. The team needs to have members who have complementary skills and who are committed to a common purpose to achieve performance goals. However, teams don’t move immediately toward performing, but instead evolve over time. There are five stages of group and team development:

1. Forming: Getting oriented and getting acquainted. High degree of uncertainty as members as they try to figure out who is in charge.
2. Storming: Personalities start to emerge, along with roles and conflicts within the group.
3. Norming: In the third stage conflicts are resolved, relationships developed, harmony and unity surfaces.
4. Performing: The members concentrate on solving problems and completing the assigned task.
5. Adjourning: Members prepare to disband. Some members may be reassigned, terminated from the group or the group is resolved.

Think about a time when you joined a new group—it could be at work, in a family setting or with a social group.

. A self-assessment of your consulting skills based on your work and school experience. Outline what skills a consultant needs and how your skills match. Then free-form an essay while answering the following: What skills did you perform well? Which were you deficient? Were these the skills you assumed consultants needed before the course started? How have your views changed or remained the same about consulting? What would you have to do to improve your skills if you were to pursue a career in consulting? Take online tests/assessments to gain insight and provide evidence. Use examples and evidence from other classes and past work history to support your conclusions. Try to make it an honest assessment that can be useful to you in the future.
