Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: A) Incorrect. During forming, the team is faced with the need to become acquainted with its members, its purpose, and its boundaries. Relationships must be formed and trust established. The team is not cohesive enough to suffer from groupthink at this point.
B) Correct. During norming, the team is faced with creating cohesion and unity, differentiating roles, identifying expectations for members, and enhancing commitment. This cohesiveness (when combined with inertia) can give rise to some groupthink symptoms.
C) Incorrect. During storming, the team is faced with disagreements, counterdependence, and the need to manage conflict. This conflict, disagreement, and differentiation begins to counter any groupthink tendencies which would otherwise arise.
D) Incorrect. During performing, the team is faced with the need for continuous improvement, innovation, speed, and capitalizing on core competencies. The team at this point is a well-oiled machine and has little, if any, tendency for groupthink symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
