Stages of Group Development

The video tutorial discusses the four phases of group development: orientation, conflict, emergence, and reinforcement. It emphasizes the importance of each phase in building effective leadership and group dynamics. The orientation phase involves warming up and building trust, while the conflict phase is necessary for addressing disagreements. Emergence sees the group coming together, and reinforcement ensures unified progress towards goals. The tutorial highlights the cyclical nature of these phases in group settings.
