The Essential Elements of [[Essential Dynamics]] are derived from the literary archetype of the [[Quest]]: >An unlikely group of **people**, go on a perilous **journey** to accomplish an epic **purpose**. From this we identify the three Essential Elements as [[People]], [[Path]] and [[Purpose]]. It is interesting that modern definitions of the [[Team]] also uses the essential elements. > A team is a group of [[People]] travelling on a [[Path]] toward a common [[Purpose]]. The application of [[Dynamic Forces]] on the Essential Elements forms the basis of [[Essential Dynamics]] ### See also: - [[Essential Dynamics]] - [[Team]]
