interpret their needs”

A group process from a development perspective
Have you ever belonged to a well functional group?
Yes, I have ...
"... I felt involved and important, people listen to me ... I knew what I was suppose to do and what others should
do. I trusted my colleagues. I got support!
After we met, I had more energy.It felt like I learned stuff!
It was really fun! "
Have you ever belonged to a dysfunctional group that was not as pleasant?
"... it was not fun ... I was overlooked. Nobody asked me what I thought. I did not feel that I contributed. I did not
know what to do. I had a stomach ache before each meeting.
It was a lot of bullshit at the coffee machine.The others were pretty weird! "
Yes I have ....

5IMGD - Integrative Model of Group Development
What do we see in a group?
Dependency and inclusion1.
- Courtesy- Looking for directives from the leader- The members obey- Conflicts are rare- Talking about non-relevant subjects
- Will I be accepted- Fear of being rejected- The desire to belong- Insecurity regarding expectations- Need of safety
Why is this?
- Conflicts rises to the surface and becomes visible- Dissatisfaction about the roles and responsibilities- Clarification of roles and values- Leaders and members are challenged- Participation increases- Subgroups may be formed
- Do I accept you / Do you want to be here?- What role would you like to have and how does it affect me?- How much power and influence do I get?- What is expected of me / the desire for safety
Counter-dependency and fight2.
What do we see in a group?
Why is this?
- Greater clarity and consensus- Roles and responsibilities adapted to skills- Task-oriented communication- Valuable deviations are tolerated- Increased acceptance for subgroups- Cohesion and trust increases
- I trust you and your skills- I know what to do and I contribute- I'm being listened to and can influence- I know what is expected of me / I feel safe
Trust and structure3.
What do we see in a group?
Why is this?
- The team is task-oriented- The team spend enough time discussing and making decisions- Decisions are implemented and evaluated- The communication is direct and clear- Production is high- Task-oriented subgroups formed- Greater focus on problem solving and improvement
- I accept my role and my responsibility- I feel competent and important- I'm being challenged and I get the support I need- I am rewarded for good performance and I get confirmation
Work and productivity4.
What do we see in a group?
Why is this?
- Focus on the task reduces- We are talking about irrelevant topics- Resignation- Irritation- The leader and members can be challenged
- What will happen to me now?- What has been my contribution- What do I take with me?- What can I expect- What is expected of me- The desire for safety
