During the storming stage of group development, power issues can arise as members begin to assert their individual opinions and ideas. In a task group, this may manifest as power struggles over who gets to make decisions or take the lead on certain tasks. For example, if a project manager is used to having full control over a project, they may clash with team members who want more input and autonomy in the decision-making process. This can lead to conflicts and a struggle for power within the group.

In a treatment group, power issues during the storming stage may look different. For example, in a therapy group, members may challenge the authority of the group leader or therapist as they begin to express their own perspectives and experiences. This can create tension and power struggles as members navigate their roles within the group and assert their own needs and desires.

Overall, the power issues that arise during the storming stage of group development can vary depending on the type of group and its specific dynamics. However, in both task and treatment groups, these power struggles can impact the group's ability to work together effectively and may require intervention or facilitation to address and resolve.

When comparing role relationships, theorists generally consider which to be the most stable type relationship over time?
