The situation described in the question is characteristic of the "storming" stage of team development.

Team development typically goes through four stages: forming, storming, norming, and performing. During the forming stage, team members are just getting to know each other and their roles in the project. During the storming stage, team members often experience conflict and disagreement as they try to establish their roles and authority within the team.

The team in this scenario is in the storming stage because they are constantly disagreeing on how tasks should be handled and are not getting along well. This is a common occurrence in the storming stage as team members are often vying for control and trying to establish their positions within the team.

Once the storming stage is resolved, the team will move on to the norming stage where they begin to establish a sense of unity and common goals. Finally, in the performing stage, the team is able to work together effectively and efficiently towards the project's objectives.
