Reading log 3

A cycle from Birth to death

Team work is not an easy task. When people embark on a common project of accomplishing common goals, it’s beneficial for them to know about what working together on a team involves. This article discusses a very interesting dynamic that goes from the moment when groups form, up to the moment when they accomplish their goal. I'm curious about the fact that this article claims that it’s founded on studies that ultimately came to the description of the four stages: forming, storming, norming and performing, and transforming. One aspect that caught my attention about this article is how groups evolve from disagreement and strife into a fraternal association of people that can put aside their personal interests, in order to succeed at accomplishing common goals.
         For future occasions on which I need to work on a team, I don’t want to forget that very positive things can come out from difficulties, and that it’s natural and healthy for people with strong views to clash at some point.
