Integration phase is a term in Tiedeman's Career decision model, the phase when group members react against the new member's attempts to influence them. The new member then compromises. In the process, he/she attains a more objective understanding of the self and the group. A true collaboration between the new member and the group is achieved. The new member feels satisfied and is evaluated as successful by the self and others.
