Groups are complex, we know that. And why wouldn’t they be? Because they will be made up of specially selected people who have to come together to harness their energy, focus and leadership. That can get messy. Your group’s challenges might be found in these examples.
Groups are most often formed to achieve something more than the individuals alone could. Or they’re put together for representation, rather than purpose. Avoid becoming the rudderless, the paralysed, and the dysfunctional and instead become focused and a truly high performing team that delivers and could come together again.
Most prepare for negotiations in the elevator on the way to the meeting. See how different it can be when your team prepares properly, identifies the interests on the table, and enters into negotiations with crystal clear heads. Gain insight into the psychology of negotiation position-taking and achieve a wiser approach to winning.
From the moment you first meet, the capacity of what the group can achieve will be affected by the dynamics of the individuals in it and what takes place outside the room. This is about power, politics, relationships, behaviour, perceptions and lots more.
If voting is one of the the worst ways for a group to make a good decision, what are the alternatives? Coaching and my own psychological work into group decision making will take you beyond all the planning stages, consultation and options appraisal, to the epicentre of what you as a group decide to do.
