    Stage 1: Forming

    A team initially meets and it probably looks a lot like this...

    And then everyone is forced to interact and it's a little awkward like this...

    but after some quality bonding time, a group becomes more comfortable with each other and develop friendships.

    Stage 2: Storming

    The group will then test its boundaries and conflicts may arise.

    ... but some boundaries are better left uncrossed.

    because conflicts can cause a lot of tension and headaches.

    Stage 3: Norming

    During the norming stage the group knows one another better and can appreciate each other's stengths and weaknesses.

    and will begin to agree more and work together.

    which is great!!!

    Stage 4: Performing

    Then, a group's hard work without friction will turn into something great like this...

    or this!

    OR THIS!!!

    Stage 5: Adjourning

    The End :)
