Question

You’re on a product development team for Kard Foods. Your team’s mission is to develop new products targeted at the Hispanic/Latino market. You’re in your fourth meeting with the team, and you’re beginning to wonder whether you’ll ever manage to settle on a product. Two of your teammates are proposing an enchilada kit. Another team member thinks Kard should get into the dessert market and suggests churros. You believe that a Mexican-style sauce, mole perhaps, would be a more versatile option. You and your teammates are going around and around in circles while the leader attempts to refocus the team on its purpose and review the group’s ground rules for discussion. Which phase of team development does this situation describe?

Answer 1

The situation fits well in the storming stage of the team development process.

Step-by-step explanation:

Team development is based on five stages and storming is the second phase. The chances of conflicts and personality clashes is high during this stage as members tend to disagree with each other view points. The disagreements are also caused due to the fact that the team is newly formed and members are in the process making peace with each other.
