Stages of Group Development

The video clip that is missing is the first stage, and like many other people I have chosen a clip from a Disney movie. The Lion King is a movie that is very close to my heart. My parents like to tell the story that is was the first movie they saw in theaters after I was born and that they both started crying during the song circle of life at the beginning of the movie. I grew up watching all the time and knowing the words to all the songs.

This shows every aspect of stage 1. Even though it is not a whole group of people Simba displays every characteristic of a newly formed group. Simba is destined to be King and as the words say he “just can’t wait” showing the excitement and anticipation he is feeling. Just like a group finds their reason for existence, he knows his purpose in life is to be a leader and that he must eventually replace his father as King. The most obvious stage one characteristic shown here is self-oriented. As of right now, he would not be a good King. He only things about what he wants and what is best for himself (like ditching Zazu to go to a grave yard). Throughout the song, he tests Zazu. Simba tries to fire him and then tries to get Zazu to agree to various things and tests the limits of what Zazu will let him do. , and like many other people I have choen a clip from a Disney movie.
