Following the completion of the first phase 5-day face to face programme, which held in Muscat, after forming Future OPWP 2017 group. The second phase 90-day long distance learning mode just started, currently the team is assessed on Bruce Tuckman 4 stage model in order to identify which stage the group currently is operating in and which leadership style will fit to develop the team.

The 4-stage model Forming, Storming, Norming and Performing is published by Dr. Bruce Tuckman, then he added another stage called Adjourning. In order to be an effective manager, you should assess your team and see in which stage they fall. Beginning with a directing style, moving through coaching, then participating, finishing delegating and almost detached. At the end, the team will be able to produce a leader that can develop a new team.

    Very interesting analysis, Eman!!! You followed our 7 step process very well and you met the TECHNICAL specifications by providing at least 3 references to support your analysis.

    You probably should consider doing this again in 4 pr 5 weeks to see just just how accurate you were in your assessment. Another idea is to use this assessment on your own teams at work just to see where they are. IF you get stuck for a blog topic in any week administer this to your real team at work and see where they fit in. That almost always proves to be an interesting blog topic.

    From this point on, you are free to pick any topic you wish, and show us how you are taking the tools/techniques you are learning in the PMBOK Guide or other references and are using them to generate a favorable Return on your Training Investment that OPWP is making in you.
