Team Life Cycle 3

Team life cycle (contd)
Teams develop at different rates - some take months, others quickly because of time pressures or already know one another and have established effective ways of working together.

If you are presently working in a team, do you recognise which stage your team is working through?

Virtual teams go through the same stages. However, studies (Jarvenpaa & Leidner) have shown that virtual teams develop trust either quicker than face-to-face teams, or not at all - based on the initial interactions of the members.
