Agreement and consensus are characteristic of team members in the norming stage. It is in this stage that roles and responsibilities become clear and accepted with big decisions being made by group agreement. The focus turns from interpersonal relations to decision-making activities related to the group's task accomplishment. Small decisions may be delegated to individuals or small teams within the group. The group addresses authority questions like these:Who is responsible for what aspects of the group's work? Does the group need one primary leader and spokesperson? Wallace Supply Company, an industrial distributor of piper, valves, and fittings, has found employee teams particularly valuable in this aspect of work life. Leadership is facilitative with some leadership responsibilities being shared by the team.
