1. Orientation
When teams are formingeverybody wonders WHY theyare here, what their potential fitis and whether others will acceptthem. People need some kind ofanswer to continue.

Next, people want to knowWHO they will work with--theirexpectations, agendas andcompetencies. Sharing buildstrust and a free exchange amongteam members.
3. Goal/RoleClarification
The more concrete work of theteam begins with charity aboutteam goals and each member'srole. Team and definitions cometo the fore. WHAT are thepriorities?
4. Commitment
At some point discussions needto end and decisions must bemade about HOW resources,time, staff - all the bottom lineconstraints - will be managed.
5. Implementation
Teams turn the corner when theybegin to sequence work andsettle on WHO does WHAT,WHEN and WHERE in action.Timing and scheduling dominatethis stage.
6. High Performance
When methods are mastered, ateam can begin to change itsgoals and flexibly respond to theenvironment. The team can say,"WOW!"
7. Renewal
Teams are dynamic. People gettired; members change. Peoplewonder "WHY continue?" It'stime to harvest learning andprepare for a new cycle of action.
