The primary challenges of organizational teams are based on the need for individuals with different roles and tasks to come together, communicate effectively, collaborate and essentially work as one unit towards a common goal. The main challenges involve leadership, empathy and commitment. Tuckman’s five stages of team development are involved in addressing these challenges as they focus the team in a systematic way on fulfilling the demands of each phase of development starting from the beginning and going through all the way to the end. The five stages are a) forming, b) storming, c) norming, d) performing and e) adjourning (Tuckman & Jensen, 1977).
The first stage—forming—focuses on the moment when the group is coming together for the first time. Typically, there will be worries and concerns that each member has.

An EI model is involved in a team member’s progression from independent worker to team player by acting as a guide that the member can use for developing this necessary skill. Salvovey and Mayer (1990) developed an EI model in which EI was defined as “the capacity to reason about emotions, and of emotions, to enhance thinking,” including the “abilities to accurately perceive emotions, to access and generate emotions so as to assist thought, to understand emotions and emotional knowledge, and to reflectively regulate emotions so as to promote emotional and intellectual growth” (p. 197). Their EI model was called the ability-based model which shows how emotions can be used as sources of information that a member can…
