Theory of team working

On analyzing my work on the Live Project, I would like to place emphasis on the fact that my work was oriented on the team and team’s need and goals. In fact, I worked in a team and that was quite new experience for me because I had little experience of team work. As a result, I needed to develop new experience and skills of work in a team. In this regard, I paid a particular attention to the analysis of the theoretical framework of teamwork. I decided to use the teamwork theory as the basis for my work in a team because I believe that the theoretical framework is essential for the successful team work.

In this regard, I chose the Tuckman’s teamwork theory explains the development of the team accurately. At any rate, our team has passed through the four phases defined by Tuckman in his theory. At the same time, the analysis of the Tuckman’s teamwork theory helped me to understand what was going on in our team as we worked on the project. The understanding of the development of the teamwork helped me to avoid numerous conflicts and problems that could have arouse if I was unaware of the essence of team work in theory. The Tuckman’s teamwork theory suggested four stages, which a team should pass before it reaches its goals. The four stages include forming, norming, storming and performing.
