Stage 1: Orientation

In the first stage of the Team Performance Model, group or work team members are seeking an answer to “Why am I here?”
These are some of the common inclusion-related questions that need to be addressed before the group can effectively move forward.

• How will I fit into this team or group?
• Will my skills be needed?
• What kind of contribution can I make?
• Will I be accepted by the other members?

The Role of the Leader

"Can we pick a path if we don't know where we are going?"
