Question

During the ________ stage of team development, team members shift their attention away from task orientation to a relationship focus

Answer 1

The correct word for the blank space is: adjourning.

Step-by-step explanation:

American psychologist Bruce Tuckman (1938-2016) proposed there are five (5) stages in group development: forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning. In the fifth stage, adjourning, the team finalizes their work then to split up. At this moment the team members are not focused on the process of accomplishing their objective anymore but pay special attention to being complimented among their mates about the outcome of their work.
