Storming - ANSWER: Team members are beginning to know about each other,
but they do not yet understand how to work together. Members may "jockey for
position" within the team. The dynamics of working together beyond any written
statement of "roles and responsibilities" are being established. Personalities
surface, showing the strengths, weaknesses, and personal needs of each individual
on the team. Integration into a team may come with some struggle and conflict.
Norming - ANSWER: Team members have "figured out" how they will interact
with each other. Working relationships are beginning to form. Trust and
understanding is beginning to form between team members. They are beginning to
feel comfortable working together and openly and willingly sharing information.
