Collaboration Through Team Building
When groups are formed into teams:
Roles and interactions are not established.
Some members may observe as they attempt to determine
whats expected of them.
Others engage the team process immediately.
As members learn their roles they find ways to worktogether and learn about team issues.
These processes occur in 4 stages.
