Analyze group
Members of groups come together and either succeed or fail based on a number of variables, including their level of cohesion.
An example of a group that had a great deal of cohesion is the U.S.
Olympic hockey team that faced the Russians at the 1980 Lake Placid
Olympics. See page 127 in the text for a brief description of this
winning Olympic team.
