The second phase of group formation is commonly known as the storming phase. Now that the group is established, individuals' personalities, perspectives, and roles will start to emerge. To ensure effective collaboration, you need to negotiate roles and responsibilities, allow a leader to naturally emerge who can influence and guide others, keep everyone safe by ensuring physical support of one another, ensure alliances and subgroups don't form to reduce the overall team's effectiveness. Successful navigation of this phase can lead to a greater understanding, stronger relationships, and clearer roles.
