What is the developmental stage and process of your team or group?
Being in the U.S. Army we are always broken down into squads, platoons, companies, battalions, or higher. Today we are going to keep it at the lower level. In this paper we are going to look at a squad size element of employees (12). We are going to look into the stages of developing and processing analyzing where exactly where the squad stands in these stages. I conducted a thirty two question Teamwork Survey giving it to the 12 employees/soldiers. Each employee came from a different walk of life.

People who take office supplies home, tell white lies to their boss or colleagues, or take credit for other people's work to get ahead may genuinely feel that these behaviors are more common than they really are. The problem for behavior in organizations is that, when people believe that a behavior is common and normal, they may repeat the behavior more freely. Under some circumstances this may lead to a high level of unethical or even illegal behaviors
