Group Development
The Group Development Assessment gives groups the opportunity to evaluate how they are currently functioning in the two major dimensions of behavior - task and process. By combining each member’s inventory scores into a group profile, members get a clear, comprehensive picture of their development. Two major dimensions of behavior influence any situation in which people must work together to accomplish a project: task behaviors and process (or interpersonal) behaviors. These two dimensions can develop at different rates as the group matures. In order to achieve a high level of cooperation and effective functioning, group members must be able to engage simultaneously in consistently high levels of both types of behaviors. Learning Outcomes: Evaluate how the group is currently functioning, Learn about the phases of task and process behaviors, Discover the 4 group developmental stages and the characteristics of groups in off-diagonal stages.
