The task that the team faced was a huge project of downsizing 4 inpatient hospital units. The goal was to consolidate 4 units into 2 without compromising patient care, staff morale, or revenue. You did it! You were successful and the team was recognized and rewarded by the University X Healthcare System. You now take the time to reflect on the process, the ups and downs, and the challenges that brought you and your team members this degree of success. Now that the task is accomplished, you can reflect on your experience and apply your knowledge of the group process. Some meetings were very contentious! Representatives from each of the four units came to the meetings and determined that their unit would not only survive the downsizing but would continue to do " business as usual" It is clear to you now that according to Tuckman, the group was exhibiting what stage of development?
