    ACCA · Question 04 · Syllabus D: Leadership and management

    [Section A] A newly assembled cross-border remote team of software developers is currently experiencing high levels of friction. Team members are arguing over coding standards, resisting the appointed team leader's authority, and competing for status within the group. According to Tuckman's stages of group development, which stage is this team currently in?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Forming

    B.

    Storming

    C.

    Norming

    D.

    Performing

    How to approach this question

    Match the symptoms (friction, arguing, resisting authority) to Tuckman's four primary stages.

    Full Answer

    B.Storming✓ Correct
    Bruce Tuckman's model includes Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing. The 'Storming' phase is marked by conflict, power struggles, and clashes over roles and procedures as team members start to express their true opinions.

    Common mistakes

    Confusing Storming with Forming. Forming is usually polite and anxious, whereas Storming is openly combative.
