Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The second stage of team development is called "storming" because it is the stage in which the personalities of team members manifest, clash and vie for roles in the project. Workers have an increased desire for structure and leadership during this stage. If the conflicts (or "storms") of this stage are not resolved before advancing to the next stage, the rest of the project is placed in peril.
