Replying to LO5765 --

In our research, the conflict stage of group development lasts for quite
some time(at least a month). Mant things need to be resolved in order to
get organized and to feel trusting of others.

It is necessary for goals to be aligned for this process to occur. If
leader and members are not "on the same page", conflict will continue.
However, this may or may not extend to the organization's goals. A group
may "circle the wagons" to resist the goals of the larger system.
