Norming: This stage of the team through the development of close relations, an increase of members of the friendship.

Performing: At this stage, team members demonstrate achievement goals to achieve the goals defined in the normative phase.

Adjourning: This is the final phase of the ad hoc group, such as task groups or committees that perform certain tasks. At this stage, the group ceases to exist.

Teamwork with Tesco

Tesco's teamwork is a mutual aid in transportation and warehousing. Each of their supermarkets’ transportation and warehouses can be adjusted each other, which makes their work very flexible and they will not be troubled by out of stock or stock issues. There is also a hidden competitive relationship between each team, which encourages them to work harder to achieve good performance. And finally get a good job.

Of course, this is also shortcomings. Because all teams are assigned by the top leadership team. This has led to the highest leadership team has a great responsibility and pressure. A bad decision requires the subordinate team to pay more for their compensation, which will lead to lower trust in the leadership of the staff.
