Clip 1-
Coach Carter: In my opinion, this first clip was an example of norming, the third stage of leadership. this is shown by the team volunteering to do push-ups for one person. this shows their desire to work together as a team in harmony.
Clip 2-
Aladdin: this second clip shows the completion of aladdin's adjourning phase. in the beginning he had ideas and an agenda of his own but throughout the movie he changed from his selfish goals to his attempt and desire to free the genie.
Clip 3-
Remember the Titans: this third clip shows Tuckman's storming phase. the overall negative attitude of the group as a whole demonstrates the conflict inherent in the group. however, this conflict is quickly dealt with so it no longer inhibits the team from functioning as a cohesive group.
Clip 4-
Finding Nemo- this last clip demonstrates the performing stage of Tuckman's idea. all the other animals step up and volunteer to help Nemo's dad look for him, this represents a sacrifice of their substance for another's pursuit.
Clip 5-
John Tucker Must Die- This clip shows a group Forming, or coming together and as outlined in Tuckman's model of group development, although they have some individual issue that would normally put them at odds, they put their differences aside for a common goal. it is only at the end when this goal is nearly realized that they address their issues and the group dissolves.
I really liked the clip you showed for the "Forming" stage. It's a very clean example of forming and it's obvious the team is coming together to accomplish their shared goal.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I absolutely love John Tucker Must Die, and its a really strong example of Forming as a concept. But I must say my favorite part of your post is regarding the Performing stage. I really resonate with how to explain this stage as the sacrificing of one's "substance for another's pursuit," I for one did not make that connection with this stage and like the angle you explored. :)
