  6. Functioning Group Behaviors • Participants know each other by name or role. • There is a generous amount of interaction. • Each participant has some influence on the others. • Each participant defines him/herself as a member of the group and is also defined by outsiders as a member. • There is a common goal, interest or benefit in holding membership in the group. • There is leadership.

Selecting a Leader • Select a leader able to handle the responsibility. • Authority • Pressure for uniformity • Status differentiation • Disruptive behavior • Incompatibility between individual and collective goals • Leadership style should vary with climate of the group. • Directive if task is ambiguous • Supportive if unsatisfying • Participative if group needs control • Achievement-oriented if no motivation

  10. 2. Sharing Leadership • Leadership-- A group may not always have a leader but it always has leadership. • Group members can share the three leadership functions. • Procedural Needs– “housekeeping” • Task Needs– “focus” • Maintenance Needs– “relationships”

  11. Procedural needs involve “housekeeping tasks”. • Place and Agenda • Notes and Handouts • Summarizing progress
