Group discussions involve 3-8 people meeting face-to-face to discuss ideas and arrive at decisions or solutions. They are used for decision-making, problem-solving, and evaluating job candidates. During group discussions, employers evaluate candidates' leadership potential, knowledge, communication skills, and ability to work as part of a team. Candidates are assessed on their active listening, clarity of expression, appropriate body language, and leadership skills. The success of the group depends on an emerging leader who can coordinate the group effectively through their knowledge, communication abilities, and emotional intelligence.
