This PPT slide, part of the 20-slide Soft Side of Change Management PowerPoint presentation, outlines the phases of team building, specifically focusing on the relationship between team morale and the stages of development: Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing. It visually represents how team morale fluctuates throughout these phases. Initially, during the Forming stage, team morale is high,, but uncertainty leads to questions like "Why am I here?" This reflects the initial confusion and lack of clarity among team members.

As the team transitions into the Storming phase, morale begins to drop. This decline is illustrated through the inquiry "Can we deliver? Can I rely on my team?" indicating rising tensions and disagreements. This phase is critical as it tests the team's dynamics and individual commitments. The slide captures the essence of this struggle, showing that while morale dips, it is a necessary part of the process.

Moving into the Norming phase, team morale starts to recover. The sentiment shifts to "I’m starting to enjoy myself!" This suggests that as team members begin to resolve conflicts and establish norms, a sense of cohesion develops. The final phase, Performing, indicates a significant rise in morale as the team becomes fully functional and engaged.

This progression highlights the natural ebb and flow of team dynamics, emphasizing that initial drops in morale are not only expected, but also essential for long-term success. Understanding these phases can help leaders anticipate challenges and support their teams effectively through each stage.
