For our dynamic group we looked at the movie Cool Runnings. Cool Runnings had very interesting dynamics because of the unique personalities and individual goals for each person. Although each person has a different purpose by the middle of the movie they are able to find common ground and realize the bigger purpose, which is to be well respected by their home country and competition. Since they don't all strive towards a similar purpose there forming stage is very rocky.
The storming stage is a big issue because of conflict amongst individual group members specifically between Yul and Junior. They both come from different back rounds and have complete different purposes. Yul will do anything to get out of Jamaica while Junior is fighting for himself and what he believes is right and because of this they often clash. Darius is the initiator and a determined leader. His strong focus allows him to hold the group together and realize what the common goal should be. As the movie progresses the individual group members are able to get over their egos and strive to reach the overall purpose.
Sanka's light hearted personality acts as the glue to make all members come together. Once they are able to fight for each other and believe in one another, this pushes them forwarded towards accomplishing their goal. The individual characteristics of each member are what makes them a dynamic and successful group. If they were all similar they would not be able to succeed in reaching the olympics, but because of there uniqueness they make themselves, their country, and rest of the competition proud
