Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The punctuated equilibrium model of team development suggests that change occurs more rapidly and chaotically in short bursts (cataclysmic events) after long periods of stability, rather than gradually over time. These bursts of change are followed by another period of stability or equilibrium. Therefore, option A is the correct choice. Option B is incorrect as change does not occur solely based on the leader insisting on it. Similarly, option C is incorrect as suffering or struggle is not a necessary condition for team development. Option D is irrelevant and incorrect as punctuality of team members does not affect the punctuated equilibrium model of team development.
