The document discusses group dynamics and decision making. It defines what constitutes a group and explores the nature of groups, including that they require at least two people, interaction, a reasonable size, shared goals and stability. It examines reasons for group formation such as warmth, support, power, affiliations and recognition. The document also covers types of groups, models of group behavior, determinants of group cohesion and techniques for group decision making.
The document discusses Emanuel Tropp's developmental approach to social work with groups. The developmental approach sees individuals as having potential to continually develop and improve their social functioning. It focuses on tapping into people's unused potential. The approach has three major themes: seeing people humanistically, focusing on their current behaviors, and viewing development as a lifelong process. Key aspects include emphasizing common goals and processes, members achieving individual growth through group experiences, and viewing groups as going through beginning, middle, and ending stages with the worker's role changing over time.

It discusses concepts like norms, conformity, status, and decision making in groups. It provides an example case study of a marketing team project and questions to analyze factors in its poor performance.
Social group work is a method in social work that facilitates positive interactions and development within small groups. It involves a social worker guiding a group of individuals to achieve common goals and address shared concerns. The document discusses using social group work with older adults, outlining the stages of group development and how it can help address issues like loneliness, socialization, and mental/physical well-being.

Group cohesiveness refers to the bonding of group members to one another and the degree to which members are motivated to stay in the group. It develops through communication, shared interests, and a sense of "we-ness". Dimensions of cohesiveness include group unity, attraction between members, and commitment to working together towards shared goals. Factors that increase cohesiveness are threats from outside the group, difficulty entering the group, time spent together, previous successes, and similarities between members. Benefits include higher morale and productivity, while disadvantages can be personality clashes and struggles for power. Cohesiveness is strengthened by smaller groups, agreement on goals, and interdependence, and weakened by larger groups and individual rewards.
This document discusses techniques for preparing social groups. It begins by defining social group work and outlining factors to consider when forming groups such as establishing a clear purpose, considering members' perspectives, and ensuring group composition allows for homogeneity. The document then discusses additional considerations like whether the group will be open or closed, optimal group size, meeting frequency and duration, and formulating group guidelines. It emphasizes the importance of preliminary individual meetings with prospective members to provide information, promote motivation, ensure needs are being met, allow for individualization, and give people choice.

influence, common feeling fcamaraderie, and who work together to achieve a common set of
goals.
2. Formal Groups- Formal groups are created and maintained to fulfill needs or tasks which arc
related to the total organisation mission. Thus these are consciously and deliberately created.
Such groups may be either permanent in the form of top management team such as board of
directors or management committees, work units in the various departments of the organisation,
staff groups providing specialised services to the organisation, and so on; or the formal groups
may be constituted on temporary basis for fulfilling certain specified objectives. When such
objectives are fulfilled they disappear. These may be in the form of temporary committee, task
force, etc. The working of formal groups is regulated by organisational rules and regulations.
Informals Group- Informal groups, on the other hand, are created in the organisation becausc of
operation of social and psychological forces operating at the work-place. Members create such
groups for their own satisfaction and their working is not regulated by the general framework of
organisational rules and regulations. Thus formal and informal organisations differ from each
other in the following respects:
1. Origin—As discussed above, reasons and circumstances of origin of both formal and informal
organisations are quite different. The formal groups are created deliberately and consciously in
the organisation by the framers of the organisation. On the other hand, informal groups arc
created because
of the operation of socio-psychological forces at the workplace, that is, people while working
together develop certain liking and disliking for others for the type of interactions not provided
officially.
2. Purpose—Since formal groups are deliberate creation, they are created for achieving the
legitimate objectives of the organisation. In fact, formal groups are basic product of formal
ogranisation structure. The informal groups are created by organisational members for their
social and psychological satisfaction. Thus they serve the purpose of organisational members

The document discusses various topics related to groups and group dynamics. It defines formal and informal groups, and describes stages of group development according to the five-stage model. It also discusses social identity theory and important characteristics that determine social identity. Additionally, it covers key group properties such as roles, norms, status, size, cohesiveness and diversity. Strengths and weaknesses of group decision making are highlighted. Different techniques for group decision making like interacting groups, brainstorming and nominal group technique are also summarized.
This document discusses techniques for preparing social groups. It defines social group work as helping individuals enhance their social functioning through purposeful group experiences. Careful formation of groups is important, including establishing a group purpose from both agency and client perspectives, considering group composition, size, and meeting frequency/duration. When preparing individuals, areas of agreement should be discussed regarding aims, guarantees, and confidentiality. Preliminary meetings provide information and promote motivation. Qualities of an effective social group worker include exchanging ideas freely, examining group work objectively, sharing leadership, accepting new ideas and members, thinking clearly about problems and solutions, and adjusting plans to meet member needs and desires.
This document outlines Emanuel Troop's developmental approach to social work with groups. It discusses the key features of this approach, including recognizing individuals as resources that can develop and focusing on interpersonal relationships and social roles. The developmental approach sees people on a continuum from dysfunctional to fully functional and aims to help them realize their potential. It also outlines the three stages - beginning, middle, and ending - that groups progress through in this approach. The worker's role is to support the group's self-direction and goal achievement at each stage.
The document provides information about social work and community education and training. It defines community education as education that takes place within a community but is not necessarily of the community, involving various local institutions. Alternatively, it can be a process of communal education towards empowerment at individual and collective levels. Community education is rooted in empowerment, social justice, and challenging oppression. It builds local capacity to address disadvantages and engage in decision-making. Community education aims to empower participants with skills and knowledge to challenge oppression and enact change. It is distinct from general adult education in its ethos and methodologies.

It then discusses characteristics of effective small group members and leadership styles. The document outlines principles of active listening and strategies for establishing culture and decision-making in small groups. Overall, it provides guidance on understanding group dynamics, roles, and functions to improve performance in public communication campaigns.

In my experience of working with and on teams, although success can be achieved, even under difficult circumstance, there are key factors that cause teams to be unsuccessful, as demonstrated in figure 11-2 of Organizational Behavior. When I have experienced team dynamic challenges, it has been due to vague or conflicting assignments of team member's responsibilities on the part of management, as well as poor interpersonal chemistry where there is an attempt on someone’s part to dominate other teammates with their
self-declared
expertise in all areas of the team’s functional objectives. This has occurred when there was not a clear description of individual team member’s areas of responsibility, and therefore the
vagueness
creates a vacuum that the strong personality types feel an
obligation
to fill. The result is an uneasy team flow with underlying or open conflict, which can delay or prevent team success. Clearly defining the role of each team member, using their strengths as a guideline for their delegated area of contribution could contribute to avoiding failure in this way. It would also be helpful to specifically designate a team lead in order to coordinate team operations and success, giving at least a focal point to air grievances should they occur. That would be a person with the least amount of ego, and the greatest ability to help guide and maintain cooperation within a team of different strong personalities.
Understanding that tenet of conscious culture representing the behavior of an organization as it attempts to accomplish its purpose, and through its normal means, it is necessary to understand how an
awareness
of culture influences the make up and operation of successful or unsuccessful teams. Consisting of both conscious and accidental cultures, an organization’s practices will contribute largely to leadership style, ethical approach, and acceptable practices of its employees. This conscious culture comes from what has been written and documented, whereas the accidental culture emerges from the enacting of unwritten and unspoken behaviors being passed on from one employee to the next (Nelson & Cohen, 2012). If the conscious culture is positive, documented, and clear, this would ultimately have a direct affect on team success. If it is positive, yet vague in nature, it could unintentionally result in an accidental culture to could be challenging to team success.

According to Kreitner and Knicki (2013), work teams are created for various purpose and faces different challenges. Leaders can deal with more effective challenges. A few of my experiences came fro.
Based upon the 2008 book by Conyne, Crowell & Newmeyer, called Group Techniques: How to Use Them More Purposefully, the presentation introduces the PGTM model (Purposeful Group Techniques Model) for selecting group interventions. Group leaders are challenged to know just how to deal with each situation until they gain experience and a lot of practice! This model helps group leaders to decide what to do, and the book includes a large number of actual techniques collected in the appendix for ease of use.
Productivity and its importance in the modern worldSpotivity
Productivity is defined as completing tasks efficiently and is important for organizations and individuals. There are many ways to enhance productivity at a young age, such as after school activities and summer internship programs for teens, which help develop skills and boost creativity. The document then discusses how productivity is important as it helps achieve organizational goals, increases morale and confidence, creates a better work environment, and establishes the relationship between inputs and outputs. Therefore, understanding and engaging with the concept of productivity early through related activities benefits teens' development and success.
Groups consist of 2 or more interacting individuals who share common goals and perceive themselves as part of the group. They form through interaction and developing shared attitudes. Formal groups are created by organizations to fulfill tasks and goals, with defined structures and roles. Informal groups form naturally based on personal similarities and provide social and emotional benefits. High cohesion occurs when members are strongly attached through frequent interaction and shared goals. Teams are small groups with complementary skills committed to common goals and mutual accountability for performance. They enhance productivity through collaborative work.
This document discusses group dynamics and defines groups and teams. It explains that a group is made up of individuals who influence each other, while a team works together towards a common goal. The document then covers group formation processes including forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning stages. It also discusses factors that affect group performance such as leadership, cohesiveness, and intragroup conflict. The summary concludes that good relationships within a team and between individuals and the team can positively impact productivity, while issues like intragroup conflict tend to reduce output.
The document discusses group dynamics and the stages of group development. It describes five stages of group development: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. In the forming stage, members are unsure of their roles and test the limits. Storming involves conflict as members struggle for power and leadership. During norming, expectations are established and cooperation increases. In the performing stage, the group works cohesively and conflict is resolved through discussion. The final adjourning stage occurs when the group disbands. The continual meetings helped the discussed group develop into a better functioning unit where members felt comfortable sharing ideas.
This document discusses the importance of providing positive feedback and encouragement. It notes that praise can profoundly impact someone's life and development. Effective responses highlight specific strengths, provide evidence to support the observation, and relate the strength back to the participant's objectives. The goal is to encourage risk-taking and build confidence by acknowledging contributions and noting their relevance. Responses should be brief, genuine, and focus on lifting participants up rather than being superficial or obligatory praise.

The document outlines the various steps of the team building process, including problem sensing, examining perceptual differences, giving and receiving feedback, developing interactive skills, and follow-up action. It describes key activities at each step, such as identifying problems, clarifying issues through communication, providing feedback to members, developing constructive behaviors like building on others' ideas, and following up to review lessons and next steps. The overall process aims to enhance group effectiveness by addressing hindrances and settling differences.
This document discusses the key elements and process of social casework. It introduces the presenter and defines social casework as a progressive transaction between the caseworker and client. The document outlines Mary Richmond's three basic categories of social work practice: psycho-social study, social diagnosis, and social treatment. It then provides more details on the main divisions and goals of each category in the social casework process.
Group cohesiveness refers to the bonding of group members to one another and the degree to which members are motivated to stay in the group. It develops through communication, shared interests, and a sense of "we-ness". Dimensions of cohesiveness include group unity, attraction between members, and commitment to working together towards shared goals. Factors that increase cohesiveness are threats from outside the group, difficulty entering the group, time spent together, previous successes, and similarities between members. Benefits include higher morale and productivity, while disadvantages can be personality clashes and struggles for power.

In my experience of working with and on teams, although success can be achieved, even under difficult circumstance, there are key factors that cause teams to be unsuccessful, as demonstrated in figure 11-2 of Organizational Behavior. When I have experienced team dynamic challenges, it has been due to vague or conflicting assignments of team member's responsibilities on the part of management, as well as poor interpersonal chemistry where there is an attempt on someone’s part to dominate other teammates with their
self-declared
expertise in all areas of the team’s functional objectives. This has occurred when there was not a clear description of individual team member’s areas of responsibility, and therefore the
vagueness
creates a vacuum that the strong personality types feel an
obligation
to fill. The result is an uneasy team flow with underlying or open conflict, which can delay or prevent team success. Clearly defining the role of each team member, using their strengths as a guideline for their delegated area of contribution could contribute to avoiding failure in this way. It would also be helpful to specifically designate a team lead in order to coordinate team operations and success, giving at least a focal point to air grievances should they occur. That would be a person with the least amount of ego, and the greatest ability to help guide and maintain cooperation within a team of different strong personalities.
Understanding that tenet of conscious culture representing the behavior of an organization as it attempts to accomplish its purpose, and through its normal means, it is necessary to understand how an
awareness
of culture influences the make up and operation of successful or unsuccessful teams. Consisting of both conscious and accidental cultures, an organization’s practices will contribute largely to leadership style, ethical approach, and acceptable practices of its employees. This conscious culture comes from what has been written and documented, whereas the accidental culture emerges from the enacting of unwritten and unspoken behaviors being passed on from one employee to the next (Nelson & Cohen, 2012). If the conscious culture is positive, documented, and clear, this would ultimately have a direct affect on team success. If it is positive, yet vague in nature, it could unintentionally result in an accidental culture to could be challenging to team success.

Productivity and its importance in the modern worldSpotivity
Productivity is defined as completing tasks efficiently and is important for organizations and individuals.

Groups consist of 2 or more interacting individuals who share common goals and perceive themselves as part of the group. They form through interaction and developing shared attitudes. Formal groups are created by organizations to fulfill tasks and goals, with defined structures and roles. Informal groups form naturally based on personal similarities and provide social and emotional benefits. High cohesion occurs when members are strongly attached through frequent interaction and shared goals. Teams are small groups with complementary skills committed to common goals and mutual accountability for performance. They enhance productivity through collaborative work.
This document discusses group dynamics and defines groups and teams. It explains that a group is made up of individuals who influence each other, while a team works together towards a common goal. The document then covers group formation processes including forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning stages. It also discusses factors that affect group performance such as leadership, cohesiveness, and intragroup conflict. The summary concludes that good relationships within a team and between individuals and the team can positively impact productivity, while issues like intragroup conflict tend to reduce output.
The document discusses group dynamics and the stages of group development. It describes five stages of group development: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. In the forming stage, members are unsure of their roles and test the limits. Storming involves conflict as members struggle for power and leadership. During norming, expectations are established and cooperation increases. In the performing stage, the group works cohesively and conflict is resolved through discussion. The final adjourning stage occurs when the group disbands. The continual meetings helped the discussed group develop into a better functioning unit where members felt comfortable sharing ideas.
This document discusses the importance of providing positive feedback and encouragement. It notes that praise can profoundly impact someone's life and development. Effective responses highlight specific strengths, provide evidence to support the observation, and relate the strength back to the participant's objectives. The goal is to encourage risk-taking and build confidence by acknowledging contributions and noting their relevance. Responses should be brief, genuine, and focus on lifting participants up rather than being superficial or obligatory praise.
