During a project meeting, two team members begin to argue about the allocation of resources. The argument escalates quickly, and other team members start to take sides. Considering the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI), which stage of conflict does this situation most likely represent?
The correct answer is 'Storming' because it describes a stage where team members openly disagree and there's tension as individuals begin to express their own ideas and challenge those of others. In the five stages of team development (forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning), the 'storming' stage is often characterized by conflict as team members work through their differences. 'Forming' is the initial stage of team development where conflict is usually minimal because the team is just being assembled. 'Performing' is a later stage focused on reaching the project's goals, where the team is expected to work smoothly together. 'Adjourning' is the final stage where the project is completed, and the team is disbanded.
