During the forming stage, individuals meet, learn about each other, and establish initial impressions.

In the storming stage, conflicts may arise as members assert their ideas and negotiate roles. Here, leadership styles, power dynamics, and personality differences play a critical role in determining whether conflicts are constructive or destructive. In the norming stage, the group establishes rules, norms, and shared expectations, which serve as guidelines for acceptable behavior and task completion.
