Organic Initiatives begin with a single individual or a
small group who share mutual concerns and build
their organizing efforts slowly by word of mouth,
adding a few people at a time.

FORM
• Participants began to build positive relationships and
mutual trusts.
• Tensions will begin to emerge as participants realize
that they have different viewpoints, different ways of
approaching the problem, personality quirks, and
different levels of commitment and energy.
17
STORM
• Tensions that are inevitably formed during form stage.
• Storm periods can be aggravated or prolonged by
individual behaviors so your own self-awareness and
self-control are very important.
18
NORM
• An on-going process throughout the life of the
group, but most is done during and shortly after
the storming phase.
• Group norms typically cover everything from the
simple to the complex.
19
PERFORM
• Leadership teams have become working units
that are able to accomplish their goals fairly
smoothly.
20
ADJOURN
• Community organizing efforts end.
• Reasons for endings: a clear conclusion when a
problem is solved, a law is enacted, or an agency
is founded; or the effort withers because there is
no real neeed for it.

COMMUNICATION PATTERNS
• Leadership teams develop typical patterns of
communication, the wheel, overlapping, and all-channel
types.
• Wheel-type Communication: members communicate
through a single leader.
• Overlapping type: group members communicate mostly
with those closest to them either physically or emotionally.
• All-channel Group: the most effective but also the hardest
to maintain because everyone must make an effort to
speak.

26
Exchange
• Participants exchange goods or services and are
guided by the norm of reciprocity, an unwritten
social rule that if I help you, you will help me
sometime and vice versa.
27
Cooperation
• When people work together to achieve common
goals.
• Teamwork
• Collaboration
28
Competition
• A struggle over scarce resources regulated by
shared values.
• Competition implies “winners” and “losers”
29
Conflict
• They occur because many people believe that
there are inevitably winners and losers in life
and that they must fight hard to be winners.
• Mitigated by written or unwritten norms

Roles Team Members Play
• Community leadership teams operate very much like
sports teams. They are developing skills and are
expected to know when to use them.
• No single person can effectively hold all of these
positions or effectively play all of these roles, but they
are not static. They move from person to person.
