Group Formation

I am working with a community leadership program. The direction for group development is a learning organization with the leadership and followship much more aligned than heirarchal. When a group form under these circumstances are the stages of group development different than the general forming, storming, norming, performing, adjourning? It would seem that there might be some differences, and while I am aware there are also different names to these stages, they are pretty much similar. It just seemed to me that if the leader would be taking a different role, the group formation might be impacted differently. I would appreciate any replies or resources to guide me. Thanks--dee
