Forming• Starts with all the 16 Indian Women’s Hockey Team member reach the

Hockey Association’s camp• Uncertainty about group’s purpose

• They never thought that their purpose is to actually win the World Cup• Structure

• They didn’t know the coach or how and where would each player be placed

• Though they thought they would be given positions as per their wants• Leadership

• Behaviour and attitude of coach• Captain undecided (Bindiya Naik thought that she would in all cases be

the captain• Behaviours that are unacceptable

• Coming late• Thinking about their state

• Kabir (coach) explains to the team- First play for India, then the team and at last themselves

• When they all say India after their name, at point this stage ends

Storming Stage:

• The players from different state are put together randomly.

• The intra group conflict is evident at the time of allocation of beds in the dormitory and also for the position of play.

• Leaders do emerge themselves in group naturally, Bindiya Naik emerges as a leader in the group in various occasions like in a scene she made all the players to sign to demand the resignation of the coach.

• Despite Bindiya’s insistence that experienced players like her are the leaders, coach Kabir Khan too established his leadership dominance and control in numerous occasions.

• Keeping players on constant stress by training rigorously which include 4a.m 10 km runs and strong criticism of their performance in an effort to make them work together.

Norming Stage:

• The cohesiveness is demonstrated at the Mc’Donalds when they unite and fight against the boys who eve teased them.• Another scene which depicts the

cohesiveness is when they get the challenge to play against the boys’ team for a chance to appear in the world cup.• The structure of the team is solidified

when their roles are made clear after their first defeat against Australia.

their admirationClear goals, rules, roles, acceptance (winning

Stage V: AdjourningTask CompletionMove to other placesTake a look one last time and ponder upon what went well, what could we do better in another situation so that the loose ends are wrapped up

The conclusion to the interpersonal behaviors includes a chance to say thank you and good-bye to the team members

Ranges from imaginary gift to various celebration and even plans to meet again, Closure is a final essential part of the team process

Leadership Of Kabir Khan• Common Goal with shared motives

Two forwards playing with their own goals , Bindya

Nayak seeking complete autonomy etc

• Being ruthlessly compassionate , At times it`s good to

be bad

• Firm belief that “It`s not the strength but the spirit

that makes a team” - Group Cohesion

• Strategy Formulation , Identifying the strengths & weaknesses of

the team and competitor .

Player`s positions based on their strengths ,

Outsmarting Man to Man marking of South Korea ,

Befitting reply to Russians through rough play.

• Motivating and Instilling confidence in team players before key events , Backing the team during failures .

Before a key tussle between Men`s teem and Women`s team , Before the

Finals , Backing the team after the initial defeat in the tournament

Conflicts

• Kabir Khan & Bindya Naik – Level = Interpersonal, Type = Dysfunctional, Style = Forcing & Compromise.

Negotiation

• Scene 2: Negotiation to send women’s Hockey team for world cup

• Evidence of ZOPA

• Scene 3: Bindiya negotiating with coach to make her captain

• BATNA used by both the parties

Power

By the virtue of being the coach, Kabir Khan uses Coercive Power when he punishes a player for reporting late for registration at the camp, by sending players out of practice when he observes notoriety.

Kabir Khan uses Expert & Legitimate Power, when he decides the positions that the players are going to play from. Most of the team members respect the decision but some resist as well.

Kabir Khan gains Referent Power over all the team members when he earns their respect & is requested to stay back as the Coach of Indian Team. He practices Referent Power, when he increases the training rigor post the incident and during world cup matches.

Kabir Khan uses persuasion to influence Bindya Nayak to play for the team, when the need arises for an experienced player to takem over the line against a tough opposition.
