Question
Last summer, Sunita decided to join a bowling league with some colleagues from work. They formed a team and bowled together several times to get to know one another better. The week before the league started, the team had to come up with a name. During a meeting to discuss this, Sunita and her teammate Hubert got into a heated debate because Sunita wanted their name to be The Lucky Strikes, whereas Hubert wanted the team name to be The Pin City Pimps. While yelling at each other, it became clear that Sunita thought she should be the team manager because she had formed the team. Hubert was just as adamant that he should be team manager because he is the more experienced bowler.
1. As Sunita and Hubert argue about the team name, what stage of development is their bowling team in?
a. Storming
b. Norming
c. Performing

a. Encourage participation by all team members.?

c. Disband the team.
