1 1 Howard Polsky • Polsky’s Diamond • A hierarchy of negative social groups
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.
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.
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.

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
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
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
Acceptable and Non-acceptable Issues • Definition • What is GGI supposed to address? • Where should some issues be addressed? • Who determines issues to be discussed?
