The two are related but different.
Adair balances task, team and individual needs.
The stages are forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning.
Belbin described the roles needed in a balanced team.
Hygiene factors prevent dissatisfaction but do not motivate. Achievement and recognition are motivators.
The order is physiological, safety, social, esteem and self-actualisation.
Theory X is the opposite view.
Training starts by identifying needs, then sets objectives, designs, delivers and validates.
Without trust, appraisal is not honest or useful.
