Thanks for this - while the Tuckman's model is widely known to anyone exposed to management education. I have always thought of two questions on this model ever since i was exposed to it.
May be it is a good idea to get a feedback from you & your views. Thanks for bringing this up again.
One -> Do you think that these phases occur one after another like a waterfall model? Form exits and storming begins (in your real work environment)
Two -> this model is old, how you think this has shaped up in IR3 and IR4 era? example - Did emails in IR3 change this model and will Gen AI in IR4 change this model ?
Thanks again - your thoughts would be nice to know,
Q: Do you think that these phases occur one after another like a waterfall model? Form exits and storming begins (in your real work environment)
A: At times they overlap and at times more overlap(you could be coming out of storming and getting to norming but still feeling the pains of storming) but largely these should be seen as transitions and not binary stages.
Q: this model is old, how you think this has shaped up in IR3 and IR4 era? example - Did emails in IR3 change this model and will Gen AI in IR4 change this model ?
A: Yes the model is old but it can be relatable for many leaders given it explains the org psychology basics in simplistic forms. I believe that modes of communications(i.e. emails vs carrier pigeons) or technology advances(dumbAI vs GenAI) is not going to change how humans interact. If that was the case, social media would have brought out the best in us. Not sure what is IR3/IR4.
