W1_HERU_Tuckman Assesment

1.       Define; Forming, Storming, Norming and Performing

In a team known to consist of several personnel formed with different abilities, different attitude, different knowledge and other differences. In uniting compactness and targets in a team needed a study later known as four stages by Dr Bruce Tuckman in 1965 study of small group that is forming, storming, norming and performing.

Forming - the team are polite and avoid conflict. They wonder what is expected of them. They need roles and responsibilities and clear objectives.

Storming - Interpersonal conflict arises, with arguments about roles and responsibilities or differing views or standards. Team needs ground-rules and to listen to each other.

Norming - successfully resolved conflict build trust and team members begin to co-operate.

Performing - the team is productive and adapts quickly to compensate for strengths and weaknesses.

2.       Are you forming, storming, norming or performing ?

To determine the condition of the current team Mahakam 13 conducted a survey to be adapted to the analysis of Tuckman the survey results of the following values​​:

	Forming	Storming	Norming	Performing
Score	27	28	33	31

 3.    Development Alternative with Leadership Style

We have know of several alternative used for the needs of the development team :

Lewin's 3 basic leadership styles	Likert's 4 leadership styles	Goleman's 6 emotional leadership style
autocratic or authoritative	exploitative authoritative	visionary
democratic or participative	benevolent authoritative	coaching
laissez-faire or delegative	consultative	affiliative
	participative	democratic
		pacesetting
		commanding

4.    Preferred Alternative for Leadership Style

Leadership styles based sources noted above, the team Mahakam 13 can be adjusted with Lewin’s 3 basic leadership styles are:

·      Autocratic or authoritative: the leader takes decisions without consulting with others.

·      Democratic or participative: the leader involves the people in the decision-making.

·      Laissez-faire or delegative: the leader's involvement in decision-making is minimized.

5.    Selection of Acceptable Criteria

Criteria were selected from Tuckman’s stages can be described as follows:

-          High enthusiasm

-          Have the skills

-          Makes the goals clear

-          Sees all the options and makes accurate judgements

-          Helps to build the team and avert friction

-          Committed to team and individual

Tuckman's stages of team development can be successfully applied to teams of differing size. Knowing if your team is forming, storming, norming or performing allows you to better understand team interactions and behaviours, enabling quicker conflict resolution, appropriate leadership styles and ultimately increased productivity.

6.    Comparison of the alternative

Based on the leadership style and the acceptable criteria, then obtained a conclusion there is no leader without the team members. The responsibility of achieving objectives is a shared responsibility as the leader alone cannot achieve them.

A person may be made leader as a formal position but this does not necessarily mean that he or she can bring the team together to complete the tasks at hand. Each member will have their own skills that makes them informal leaders in those areas.

The formal leader needs to be able to work together with the team and generate trust to build a cohesive group. Just words are not enough. Appropriate actions will be required to foster trust and to build confidence.

7.    Performance Monitoring & Post Evaluation of Result

Can be explained that the team Mahakam 13 have very high enthusiasm, different abilities of each person and have similar goals. More details will be able to take a look at the learning stage AACE distance learning program reporting the results of their duties each week over a period of six months.
