The term <u>Group dynamics</u> describes how a team communicates with one another, deals with conflict, and expresses feelings.
Group dynamics refers to the processes by which individuals in a team interact with one another. Group dynamic is influenced by the personality and attitudes of members, hierarchies, powers, and perceptions, among others.
The group may be formal (specially organized for a specific purpose) or informal (spontaneous).
Groups proceed through stages of <em>forming</em>, <em>storming</em>, <em>norming</em>, <em>performing</em>, and <em>adjourning</em>. These stages trace the development of how members communicate, deal with conflicts, express feelings, and find common ground so they can attain their best performance.
