...Storming Stage Storming stage is a stage where some intra-group conflict emerge (Robbin & Coulter 2002, p. 399). The conflict in our project team were about the choosing of leaders and discussing about the team's project. When determining who is going to be the leader, the whole group members is in a state of confusion, shy and no one wants to stand in at first. When Joan stood up and voluntaries herself, the other two volunteers – Angelina and Charles came to the front to talk. Basically the three of them were using forcing or competing style to handle the situation, it forced the whole team to acknowledge them when we are still uncertain (Heldman 2004, p. 292). By using this method, it saves our time by determining who among us are going to be the best leader. If we did not use this method we will end up not getting the job done or we cannot even proceed to the next discussion of the project. Next conflict happened during the discussion about what product or service our team is going to produce. We had chosen to build a team park, and we had about 5 sub-themes that needs to be elaborated more on the meaning or to narrow down the meaning of the word we use for the sub-themes. In this case, some of our member argued about the word and which attractions should be categorized under them. For example, the word “fantasy” has a very board meaning, one of the members suggested it as theme under princes, princesses, wizards or dragons and the other linked it more to future technology...

...The Implementation Stage The purpose of this essay is to discuss about the implementation of the project. It is important to know and understand the six stages of implementation. In this situation you can see that the human resource system needs to be updated and that is where the implementation process goes in to play. Each of the stage’s activities would be used for its’ specifically planned for each situation. Then go into details about the benefits of using the defined and repeatable process for accomplishing the activities in the implementation stages. The six stages of implementation consists of; coding, testing, installation, documentation, training, and support. Coding The first activity in the implementation stage would be coding. This is also the stage where everything is evaluated. In this stage, one of the main portions is to find what the needs of the company are. Management would be able to point out what needs to be worked on. For example, they would point out that the login screen of the main page always gets a glitch and would lead you to another page that was not relevant to what you have clicked or picked. Testing The testing stage would be next after coding. During this stage, the components will be thoroughly tested before implementation. This stage is an important part of the implementation phase because testing is mandatory for almost everything that is doing through developmental changes. Without the testing stage we would not know where to...

...The first overall phase is of the development of the relationship to its (hopefully long-term) peak. Initiation In the initial contact early impressions are made. Although these may be inaccurate, they may well significantly influence whether the individuals want to progress the relationship to a further stage. For romantic relationships physical impressions of appearance, dress, smell and so on are often important (for women too). General pleasantness is also important for social and business relationships. Experimentation If the parties show initial interested, they may next start exploring, looking for common interests, common acquaintances and other ground on which they can meet and share. In business relationships, there will also be investigation into what each person brings to the table that will add value to the business of the other person. Intensifying With enough in common, the people now start sharing more private information and checking for reciprocal sharing by the other person that signals their interest in deepening the relationship. This stage may also include spending more time together, gift-giving and declarations of affection. Advances may be made for further intimacy to test for the desire take things further. In business, this may include negotiation and contracting activity that will lead up to value creation and exchange. Integration The two people now start seeing each other more often as they integrate a number of parts of...

...Case Study-Week 3 There are five stages to group development. Many groups are unable to make it to the final stage and find it uncomfortable to work within the group they are in. Also they find it almost impossible to finish the tasks that are expected of them. The five stages are as follows: I. Forming stage- this is the initial stage. The primary concern is the entry of the members of the group. Multiple questions are asked as the members within the group begin to identify with other members and the group itself. The main purpose in this stage is getting to know each other, determining the tasks at hand, defining the group rules, and considering the acceptable behavior within the group. II. Storming stage- The is a period of high emotion and tension within the group and among the members. Hostility and fighting between members may occur and the group may experience changes. Coalitions and Cliques may form within the groups. Outside demands may create tension and pressure. Expectations tend to be clarified and the attention gradually shifts to obstacles standing in the way of the group goals. Group members start to understand one another and efforts are made to accomplish group goals and satisfy individual needs. III. Norming stage- this is the initial integration of the group. The point where the group really begins to come together as a unit. There is a new sense of harmony after the storming stage and members try and maintain a positive balance...

...depends on location, performer’s requirement, venue size, and most important budget. The budget usually dictates all decisions and is determined by the popularity of the performers and their ability to attract more and more of an audience. Various organisational roles are involved with the concert production and each has part to play on the team. A stage manager coordinates the crew, which looking in more detail is created by sound, lighting and performers crew teams. The stage manager is responsible for the performer’s equipment (musical instruments). In some cases the stage manager may have assistance crew for each part of performer’s instruments. But let’s start from the top. The event manager is the person who plans and achieves the event. The event manager has to plan and organise the event within the budget provided from the client. This include booking acts, communicating with the stage management and providing necessary equipment by contracting companies providing the relevant kind of equipment. The stage manager, for his part, is responsible for the performer’s equipment, such as drums, guitars, and keyboards. The stage manager also should be looking after all procedures that are governed by the Health and Safety Legislation and that they are strictly followed by the venue staff. Front-of-House crew includes, sound engineers, lighting engineers, monitor engineers, security. The sound engineer or sound system designer controls the mix that the audience hears from an...

...Describe in detail the five stages of team/group development. Give specific examples for each stage. Explain how and why teams and groups may or may not proceed through these stages. The five-stage model, which can be applied to groups and teams, assumes that members will progress through five phases: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. Teams and groups do not move through each phase in a sequential pattern, but the model as a whole proves beneficial to individuals who have struggles about working with others. Within this model, individuals shift from independent input to equal effort when working with others (Langton, Robbins and Judge 161). Group development begins with the forming stage. Beginning in the first meeting, this stage is the period where members experience anxiety and uncertainty about the team’s purpose, structure, and guidance (Langton, Robbins and Judge 161). Individual issues include members questioning where they fit in, and group issues include members questioning why the group was formed (Langton, Robbins and Judge 162). Active forming occurs when members doubt their acceptance or belonging within the group, have low trust in others, and make an attempt to understand what is expected of them (Stuermer). The forming stage is complete when members view themselves involved with the team or group (Langton, Robbins and Judge 161); this means members acknowledge the team’s needs over individual ones. The second stage is storming which is the...

...The Psychosexual Stages define how human personality develops from birth to early adulthood. Freud believed that children experience unconscious sexual fixations as they grow in age. These sexual urges change drastically with each stage. Without proper resolution following each stage, we may experience faults in our future personalities according to Freud. In this stage, the first of five, encompassing children from birth to 1, the infant's primary source of interaction occurs through the mouth, so the rooting and sucking reflex is especially important. The mouth is vital for eating and the infant experiences pleasure from oral stimulation through gratifying activities such as tasting and sucking. The mouth is the infant’s primary erogenous zone, meaning that the oral cavity is where libido energy is most focused. The infant gains pleasure through sucking and eating; the child ultimately develops a sense of comfort through oral stimulation. However, the primary conflict at this stage is the weaning process the child eventually must become less dependent on caretakers as it grows. In theory, an infant who is neglected (under-fed) or overprotected (over-fed) may become orally fixated with the onset of adulthood. If fixation occurs at this stage, Freud believed the individual would have issues with dependency or aggression. During the anal stage, the second of Freud’s five stages this begins near the age of 1 and goes till about 3. The erogenous zone shifts from the oral cavity...

...During the physical developmental stages there are significant milestones that these school age children experience. By the beginning of middle childhood, children typically have acquired a leaner, more athletic appearance ("Cliff Notes", 2000-2012). All through the middle childhood weight gain and height is at a steady increase. During this developmental stage an individual will lose his or her baby teeth and their permanent teeth will come through. Depending on the individual a child can begin the early stages of puberty during this time. Physical development (early adolescence) The physical development of a child in the early adolescence stages can be a drastic change for an individual. The hormones of the early adolescence are at a rapid growth and are better developed throughout the years. As the level of hormones increase this causes acne to form as well as his or her height and weight will increase. Emotional Development (middle childhood) As children develop in age each individual child will react to various situations differently. During the middle childhood stage an individual’s emotional development goes through some drastic changes. To give an example of the transitions that he or she will face is the start of school that will allow them to come into contact with new teachers and also the opportunity to build friendships with other children. During this stage a child will gain a sense of responsibility as well as the feeling of being more independent...

...Question #1 The five stages of group development; forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning are all critical if a group is going to perform at its best. The first stage, forming, is when the group is created. This is the part in the process where the group is either assigned or the group members voluntarily come together as a group. The second stage, storming is when the group member begin to figure out all of the individual team members characteristics and traits. The third stage, norming is where all of the members get familiar with what each member brings to the table. They get to know each other and begin to see what type of skills, strengths, and weaknesses each team member has. At this point in the group development processes all of the team members are getting familiar with each other and their work habits. In the forth stage of the group development process, performing, is where the group works together to accomplish their goal. At this point all group members know each other’s strengths and weaknesses and divvy up the group tasks so that the task is assigned to the group member with the corresponding skills to complete it best. After the group’s goal is performed they then move on to the fifth step in the process, adjourning. This is where the group members wrap up any remaining responsibilities such as deciding if they will meet again for another project. This is the last stage the group will complete. Expertise in the group development process helps...

...Essay Since ancient times, people have been enjoying the delights of theatre and play enacted and carried out on stage. The history on lighting for the theatre is very interesting and innovative. As technology has developed over the years, theatergoers have been witness to extraordinary progress as innovations took over and added unique contributions to stage craft, architecture and theatrical lighting. The history of stage lighting and lighting cues in theatre dates back to Greek and Roman times. Light has always been an important component for theatrical storytelling, and various lighting techniques have evolved over the centuries, Before the 20th century, many experimented with electric lights but it was until the turn of the century where electric lights were used exclusively in most theatres. During the 20th century, stage lighting design became an art in its own right, emerging from the obscurity of props, set designs, and costumes. Great efforts were to bring the subtlety and drama of effective light on the stage. The American playwright and producer David Belasco and his assistant Louis Hartman had developed many light instruments. Jean Rosenthal, another pioneer of American stage lighting, invented a system for recording a particular lighting sequence so that it could be faithfully repeated. Going into the 1940s and 1950s, stage lighting kept on evolving and improving. Many technical advances included special lenses, reflectors, projectors, and new plastic...

...The sixth stage that Erikson proposed was that of intimacy versus isolation, which is a sub-stage under Freud’s genital stage and takes place during the ages of eighteen and twenty-four (Engler, 2014). Erikson emphasizes intimacy in that one begins to focus on genital coupling and being able to find a close affiliation with another, and that work should not present as a barrier to one developing their love for others (Engler, 2014). The latter trait, associated with this stage, is isolation, which is understood as self-absorption and isolation of others who seek intimate relations (Erikson, 1963). This is then sought in a balance due to the stress of productivity and success within a time that also stresses close affiliation with others (Engler,...
