Discuss the stages of team development and the communication needed at each stage.

1. 1 · Define a team. A small group with a common goal and joint responsibility; it differs from a group, whose members may pursue their own goals.
2. 2 · Draw Tuckman's stages. [Flow: forming → storming → norming → performing → adjourning]
3. 3 · Explain each stage with its communication need.
   • Forming: leader gives clear goals and roles
   • Storming: active listening, respectful conflict
   • Norming: agree rules for meetings and decisions
   • Performing: open sharing, quick feedback
   • Adjourning: review lessons, recognise effort
4. 4 · Effective team communication. Shared goals, clear roles, open information, active listening, constructive conflict, trust.
5. 5 · Team roles. Task, relationship (maintenance) and self-centred roles.
6. 6 · Groupthink. Explain it and its cure: leader speaks last, devil's advocate, outside views.
7. 7 · Sri Lankan example. Junior members who stay silent out of respect for seniors are asked to speak first.

Scoring tip: The stage-by-stage table (stage, what happens, communication needed) is the heart of this answer.
