FORMING

The first stage of team development is forming. Forming is bringing together parts or combine to create. When it comes to forming it is a stage where you are getting a group together, sometimes you would get to choose your own group or a group is already selected for you. That is when you feel excited for the task that was assigned, and you feel anxiety for how well this team will accomplish  the task. Forming stage is to create a team with clear structure, goals, direction and roles so that members begin to build trust.

"During the first stage, individuals get to know each other, they often are overly polite and feel a bit awkward. As they search for similarities and attempt to bond, they begin to develop trust in each other". (Business Communication, 2016, pg 37)
