On group dynamics…
In a group of 7 there are 8 members. The 8th member is the group itself.
Yes you read that right. Read that again. Let it sink in.
When working in a group, the needs of the 7 members is as important as the need of the group itself. Each person’s individuality makes the group function at its optimum capacity.
Additionally, the relationship with the 8th member also impacts the group.
The question is, as a member of the team are you adding to the strength of the group (the 8th member) or taking away potential from it?
