Five Stages of Team Development: Adjourning

A time where it was hard to say was my high school basketball team and senior year and my senior year in college playing basketball as well. These were the hardest time to say good bye because of our bond we shared.  Not only we shared the same goals but we prayed together creating a spiritual bond as well especially in college.  
I would consider playing basketball college as high performance groups because of the outcome of the goals. Yes I do think they are the hardest to leave because as a team we have accomplish something together that we all wanted.  Some of the person in the groups did the something as other with made a strong bond.  After a game or when it was someone birthday or just wanted to hang out we partied.    College basketball was the hardest to leave because of the type of people I met and enjoyed being around.  Everyone was supportive of each other and when we needed something or someone, they was there to help.    The different sorts of closing rituals I experienced were praying together before and after a game.  Going to chapel on Wednesday together and to church on Sundays.  

To adjourn from the group of colleagues I have formed while working on my master's degree in this program is to try to stay in touch with everyone to get ideas from my colleagues and to questions about things I am stuck on. It will be hard to adjourn from this group of people just about everyone has begin there since the beginning of the master's program.     Adjourning is an essential stage of teamwork because that's when you know true relationships has been formed.

  1. Hi Felecia,
    You seem to have had a great relationship with your teammates throughout you all seasons. It is really hard to say good bye to a group of individuals or loved ones that you have built a great relationship with. You really had a true relationship.
