  4. Small Group Communication

  5. Propositions about Group Communication • Decisions = higher quality • Higher commitment to group decisions • Pitfalls and hazards are regularly uncovered • Morale is higher • Increased responsibility for the task • Blame for errors is shared

  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.

  7. Building an effective group takes planning. 1) Selecting a Leader 2) Sharing Leadership Roles 3) Communicating Effectively 4) Problem-Solving Efficiently

  8. Types of Leaders • Shared or No Specific Leader • Implied Leader • Emergent Leader • Designated Leader

  9. 1. 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

  12. Analyze Delegate Collect info Solicit views Focus Devil's advocate Criteria Reach consensus Task needs provide “focus”.

  13. Maintenance Needs involve “interpersonal relations”. • Getting along • Contributing • Supporting • Satisfaction about accomplishments • Satisfaction about roles

  14. 3. Effective Communication • Effective group discussion takes time. • Balance between emotional and rational • Sincere skepticism is encouraged • Group norms are clearly identified • Some topics not appropriate

  15. Ineffective group discussion is more common. • Failure to contribute • Conformity • Poor Environment • Control • Rigid • Lack of Patience • Too much leadership or wrong type

  17. Symptoms Group’s tendency to view itself as powerful Closed-mindedness Pressure toward uniformity Minimizing Techniques Question self/actions Divide into subgroups Involve outsiders Add diversity Groupthink

  18. 4. Efficient Problem-Solving • Dewey’s Reflective Thinking Method • Define and narrow the problem • Analyze the problem • Establish criteria for solutions • Generate potential solutions • Select the best solution/s

  19. 1. Define the Problem • Specific • Open • Avoid Bias 2. Analyze the Problem • How Severe? • How many people are affected? • What if the problem is not resolved? • What are the Causes?

  20. 3. Establish Criteria for the Solutions • What must solution achieve? • What might limit the choice of solutions? 4. Generate Potential Solutions • Avoid judging while brainstorming • Individuals record their own 5. Select the Best Solution • Compare to established Criteria • Evaluate all solutions
