In Tuckman's model of group development, which stage is typically characterised by disagreement over roles, leadership and goals as members compete for position?
The storming stage is where disagreement over roles, leadership and goals appears. Members compete for influence and challenge each other. Forming is the earlier, cautious stage, and norming follows when the group settles on shared standards and starts to cooperate.
