according to Tuckman's five-stage model of group and team development, what is the second stage in the process?

Answer: The second stage is the "Storming Stage"

Explanation:

Bruce Tuckman's five-stage model of group and team development, propounded in 1965, consists of the forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning stages.

The second stage, storming, is the most difficult and crucial stage in team development process, especially for a team that has never been together. At this stage, there's usually conflict of interests and members of the team may form "cliques" based on common grounds of agreement.

Performance of the team may decrease because members could begin to disagree on team goals and individual personalities emerge.

A solution would be for the team members to accept one another's individuality and focus on the task at hand.
