Abstract

Forming Stage: This is a beginning stage and lasts only a few days (or weeks). Members begin by planning their work and their new roles. Moreover, the emotions here are positive. The groups should begin by learning about team processes in preparation for the rough times ahead. Storming Stage: There exists a considerable amount of fights and arguments in this stage. People begin to feel the stress of frustration, resentment, and anger. Moreover, as the problem festers, the job remains undone. The storming period may last 1-2 months. Also, without effective training and support, the team may experience retarded growth.
