    When a strong sense of mutual commitment is present within a team, it creates synergy. Synergy refers to the combined effort and collaboration of team members that results in a greater outcome than what could be achieved individually. It involves the integration of individual strengths, skills, and perspectives to generate innovative and effective solutions. In a synergistic team, members work together harmoniously, leveraging each other's abilities and supporting one another to achieve shared goals. This sense of unity and collaboration goes beyond mere cooperation and transforms the team into a cohesive and high-performing unit.

    • Trying out new ideas

    • Familiarizing themselves with each others work style

    Correct Answer
    A. Problem solving
    Explanation
    Tuckman states that in order to successfully move from the storming stage to the norming stage, team members must transition from a mindset of "testing and proving" to one focused on problem solving. This means that instead of trying to assert their own ideas or prove themselves right, team members should collaborate and work together to find solutions to challenges and conflicts. By shifting their focus to problem solving, team members can establish a more cooperative and productive working environment.
