Models (Bion or Tuckman)

All of us have been assigned on a team in order to solve a problem, perform an extra duty of some kind or to attend a special school with others. State which type of team (based on Table 2.2 in our chapter reading) you were on (project, work, matrix, parallel, etc.) and explain why it is that type.

Think about a time when you were in this team situation and discuss the stages your team progressed through.

Use either Biron’s four possible pitfalls that need to be worked through in groups and teams or use the Tuck man model which outlines stages we move through during team change.

Apply one of these models to your personal example and explain when each pitfall or stage occurred. Finally, discuss the positive or negative outcome of your team.
