Katrina needs to use her communication and conflict management skills every day with her team. What stage of development is her team in?
Answer: As per the description provided, the stage of team development at which Katrina’s team would be:
– Storming stage
The team development has been divided into five stages:
Forming
Storming
Norming
Performing
Adjourning
The storming stage is described as the stage where every member comes up with his/her ideas and attempts to impress their peers.
This leads to competition among the members of the team and the development of conflicts.
Therefore, the leaders like Katrina intrude in order to resolve the disagreements and handle competition to ensure that the project goes in the right direction.
Thus, the ‘storming’ stage is the correct answer.
