The first step to take is to realize that the storming phase is a ‘physiological’ moment that every team have to go through sooner or later and that is useful to clarify even more the objective, the roles, the responsibility and the processes within the team. In the ‘stormy’ phase of storming, the role of the captain, that is of the Team Leader, is of primary importance. He has to understand the needs of the members of the team when it comes to definition of roles and activity, he has to provide safety and focus on the objective; so, the team leader has to provide a leadership based both on the relating side, and on the performance side.
