Tuckman's Theory Of Resiliency To A Hostile Environment

1. The role of evolution emerges when there’s a hostile environment that threatens the survival of any living organism. In return the hostile environment causes that living organism to counteract by incorporating features they possess in order to survive. Adaptive strategies have influenced how different groups relate and interact with each other by how they associate, cooperate, and communicate in terms of making decisions on which qualities should be contribute in order to survive.

3. Structure – The thoughts and expressions are shared accordingly to contribution.
4. Work – The performance of members require distinct roles.

The “Five F’s of Group Process” (page 38) are:

1. Friendly phase – The introduction involves forming relations to get to know each other.
2. Friction phase – The solution serves as a conflict until each member recognize that group work requires cooperation.
3. Forming phase – The set of contribution is unfixed and incorporated in the format of the group member skills.
4. Follow-through phase – The roles become irrelevant as long as the task is complete and goal is
