Tuckman's Stages of Group Development

Remember the Titans was stage 2 (storming). You could see the tension between the two players and that they are still struggling to put their differences aside even for the common goal of playing football.

Coach Carter was stage 3 (norming). The players are coming together. When one player is punished, they all take the punishment.

Finding Nemo was stage 4 (performing). This is when the group actually performs and act or gets things done. They use teamwork to the max to save Nemo.

Aladdin was stage 5 (adjourning). After the event, things wrap up and goodbyes are said. People are sad but their goal was accomplished.

The stage that is missing is the first one (Forming). Before anything can begin, the group needs to form and find leaders. This Mulan clip is great to show the formation stage because they are all getting oriented to their future tasks, they're still goofing off a little bit, and leaders are being chosen.

  1. Good example for forming! I've never actually seen Mulan, so I don't really know what is happening... but it seems like the group is getting together and discovering their roles.
