During the group's third meeting, george noticed a pattern emerging—every time the group members were close to making a decision, someone would ask him if he agreed. as the meeting came to a close, some members asked him what time the next meeting would be held and if there was anything in particular they should bring to the next meeting. george wondered if the group had begun to recognize him as their leader. based on this information, in which stage of development does george's group appear to be?

Forming

Explanation:

In 1965, Bruce Tuckman spoke about groups' 5 stages of development. They are: forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning. These stages begin with the first time a group meets and finishes when the project ends.

In the situation given George's group is in the forming stage because they are still getting to know each other's personalities. Although it is their third meeting, they are still trying to define the role of the leader. They are nice and polite and that is another characteristic of the forming stage.
