Storming is the second stage of team development and at this stage members begin to compete for status, leadership, and control in the group. When party members get to know each other better, the storming phase begins. This stage is characterized by an offer of power. Each team will go through this phase. Some will stay here longer than others. During the Storming phase, conflicts arise as team members attempt to determine their roles and delegate tasks. This step can be difficult, but it can also be very productive.
