Twain's Five-Stage Model For NASA, Jack, Jim, And NASA
Concept/Theory
Evidence/Observations & Application
1. Participative Decision Making (pg 366) For this mission to end successfully for NASA, Jack, Jim, and Fred, who are all directly impacted by the decisions that will be made to correct the challenges they are currently experiencing in this mission, the organization is relying on the all three men to work with them, each sharing their knowledge and expertise of the situation in space, to assist NASA to correctly identify a solution to the problem and getting the astronauts home safely.
2. Tuckman’s Five-Stage Model (pg 320) The astronauts appear to be in the 2nd stage of Tuckman's model: Storming. They have a clear sense of purpose: Find a safe way home. However there is much conflict between the …show more content…
Purpose and Mission (pg 322) A group's purpose and mission may be assigned to a group or emerge from within the group. After the initial purpose and mission, to successfully land on the moon fails, Jim reminds everyone what their new mission is to "try to figure out how to stay alive". This is the emerged mission of the group.
4. Group Cohesion (pg 323) Group Cohesion is the interpersonal attraction binding group members together. As noted, Jim and Fred were previously assigned to this mission and jack was added to the group mission later on. You can notice in this clip the group cohesion among the astronauts is not strong. They argue and create unpleasant experiences. You can also see a domination of a subgroup (Fred and Jim), against Jack as they both disagree with what Jack has to say.
5. Work Team (pg 316) A work team is a group of people with complementary skills who are committed to a common mission, performance goals, and approach for which they hold themselves accountable. Jim, Jack and Fred are a classic example of a work team. They were each selected by NASA for their expertise. They share common missions such as landing on the moon, and after that failed, getting home
