  12. Delinquent Group Diamond

  13. Diamond Work • Your goal in reading the Diamond is to collapse or destroy the Diamond. • In order to destroy the Diamond, the big crowd and leader must be attacked. • The more negative your culture, the truer the Diamond.

  14. Diamond Work • The more negative your normative culture, the harder it will be to destroy the Diamond. • Some staff support the Diamond and are not aware that they are doing so.

  15. Diamond Work • Doing the Diamond allows you to be proactive, not reactive. • Low-status students will gravitate toward staff for protection. • High-status students will often avoid staff.

  19. GGI Leader’s Authority • Definition • What you can and can’t do – know your power • How to get authority and power • Examples of what you already have available

  20. GGI Leader’s Authority • Rewarding or sanctioning • Model “tailor-made” sanctions that will help the group members with their particular problems • Group members can recommend a sanction or accountabilities for behaviors with leader’s approval

  21. GGI Leader’s Authority • Accountability should be just • Avoid supporting the Diamond by always confronting and concentrating on the small crowd and letting the big crowd off easy • Veto-power
