Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During the group development process, when the storming stage is complete, there will be a relatively clear hierarchy of leadership within the group.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stage 2: Storming As the team begins to move towards its goals, members discover that the team can’t live up to all of their early excitement and expectations. Their focus may shift from the tasks at hand to feelings of frustration or anger with the team’s progress or process.
