...Gloria Bicolli Remember the Titans HRD 363 Midterm Tuckman and Jensen 1977 Tuckman and Jensen model focuses on the development of internal relations among the team members. There are 5 stages, Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing and Adjourning. The movie Remember the Titans was very inspiring especially because it is based on a true story. This movie showed all of Tuckman’s 5 stages. Stages of Group Development The first stage is forming; this is when members get to know one another. This is one of the most important stages. In the movie, this occurs when all of the football players are in the gym ready to meet Coach Boone. All the different race groups were together. In this interaction, the athletes have come together for the first time, they are unsure of their roles on the team, and they are also unsure what to expect from each other and the coach. Coach Boone asks Petey whether or not he likes football. The coach is very directive he tells the team “This is no democracy”. (YouTube) After they went to Gettysburg College for Camp, the coach made them sit in the same positions they had on the way to camp. This was one of his ways to form the team. The team walks to camp together, this is the first time we see them grouped whites and blacks together as a team, which signifies they have finished the forming stage. The second stage is storming; this is where all the conflicts and disagreements happen although the majority of the movie conflict occurs consistently...

...MGMT-6000 Final Exam Question #1 The coaching staff at the newly racially integrated T.C. Williams high school was one that was assembled from different schools in segregated communities. Upon receiving their coaching positions, they did not yet have a unified culture of beliefs, assumptions, or feelings because they didn’t know each other and had not worked together. Coach Boone’s values were clear from the beginning; race was not to be considered. Those who work hard enough and do what is expected will play football. Those who do not, will sit on the bench. The same was expected from the coaching staff; if they did not want to be there, they were free to go. Coach Boone was fine finding another staff member who was willing to fill the role. He displayed his values at all times to the coaching staff and the players and never swerved from that standard. Coach Yoast’s values were not so consistent. He started the movie angry that he had proven himself as a winning coach over the years yet didn’t get the head coaching position. To add to this, he had lost the head coaching position to a black man who offered Yoast a position as the defensive coordinator.

Yoast’s original plans were to quit to find a coaching position at another school, but his loyalty to his players, many of whom he had coached since they were little...

For example the movie Remember the Titans (2000), were Julius claims that his altitude it’s a reflection on his captain Bertie. As the movie advances, Bertier changes his attitude and leads by example. This simple behavioral change unites an entire team, and changes the ways and attitudes on every level.
