teams will inevitably go through. Some theorists refer to these stages as forming, norming, storming and performing (Crowe & Hill, 2006). In the first or "forming" stage, members of a
team become acquainted with one another (Crowe & Hill, 2006). The forming stage is where the team gets together and makes an agreement (Crowe & Hill, 2006). Norming
occurs when the teams individual members attempt to meet each others expectations (Crowe & Hill, 2006). Crowe & Hill (2006) write the following in regard to norming: "Even if
group members work independently of each other during this stage, trust begins to build as each group member completes tasks on time and at the standard the group expects" (p.32).
Expectations for each member may be specific or general. When all is said and done, the team meets and norms come about. Everything is fine in regard to
team dynamics, until a member violates one of the rules. Certainly, in all teams there will be conflict. Sometimes, individuals will disagree. Storming is a phase that commences when some
of the team members do not adhere to the agreed upon contract (Crowe & Hill, 2006). This phase will occur even if there is only one member who is in
disagreement (Crowe & Hill, 2006). Crowe & Hill (2006) explains the last phase rather simply, as follows: " The last group phase, performing, occurs when the group works past
the conflict and the groups performance becomes much stronger as a result of overcoming their difficulties" (p.32). The last phase is desirable, but teams must work through their differences. In
