In the performing stage of Tuckman's model, the group becomes effective at working towards its goals. Members are competent, autonomous, and able to handle the decision-making process without supervision. Leadership becomes more participative, reflecting the group's ability to operate independently. This stage is characterized by high levels of teamwork, productivity, and harmony, not by confusion over roles (C) or internal conflicts (D). It is also not the final stage; Tuckman later added a fifth stage called "adjourning" or "mourning."
