Hallmarks of this stage
• In the Storming phase, the team starts to
address the objective(s), suggesting ideas. It
empowers itself to share leadership. Different
ideas may compete for consideration, and if
badly managed, this phase can be very
destructive for the team. Egos emerge and turf
wars occur. In extreme cases, the team can
become stuck in this phase.
• If a team is too focused on consensus, they may
decide on a plan which is less effective to
complete the task for the sake of the team. This
carries its own set of challenges. It is essential
that a team has strong facilitative leadership
during this phase
