Whether groups are formed for social or task oriented purposes, the ability to produce and maintain a sense of affiliation, peer support and collaboration is important for overall group functioning. The cohesion of a social group is produced through the establishment of a set of group norms, which are later defined as a guide for conduct accepted within a group of individuals. However, in order for a group to perform and produce results, the team leader should guide his/her team through the proper stages of group development, which includes the following steps: forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning. Although teams should follow all these stages of group development, the forming and the norming stages are the most important,

Green, Carlson, Scholder, & Campbell’s Three Circles of Leadership model (n.d.) explains that “followers must be open to new ideas or change and are willing to learn and improve”. Therefore, everyone must remain prepared to adapt to those changes. After the emergency operation team was informed about a secondary leader joining them and having to abandon their original plan to help Brown Trout Bay, some team members began to express their conflicting views. Each team member expressed their own opinion about the new plan.

As I began the Group Process and Dynamics course, I was excited to become educated and experienced with group counseling. Group counseling is a topic I have enjoyed in the past and have continued to be fascinated by. I have learned the elements of a group process through observation and research. The group process consists of several elements that come together when the group begins and ends when the group is terminated. I have observed group norms, group cohesion, the generation of trust, the manifestation of resistance, the emergence of conflict and resolution, healing forces, the reactions of group members, and the various stages a group develops through (Corey, Corey, & Corey, 2010). Throughout this course, I was able to derive a conceptualization of groups. From this course I will take with me the understanding of how effective group counseling can be for individuals. Groups have been known to be as effective as individual therapy and a great source of treatment. Group counseling is designed as a part of a treatment plan that helps individuals and guide them through change. Group counseling is a versatile practice, which can be used in several settings and with different populations (Corey et al., 2010). This course has given me the opportunity to reflect on my own personal leadership style, the challenges that may arise, and an action plan to continue my group leadership knowledge and skills.

Group member cohesiveness was absent from the group meeting for several reasons, but the primary reasons were due to the fact that the group members did not have a common description of value or structure to the discussion.

Llopis (2012) states, “Think of your team as puzzle pieces that can be placed together in a variety of ways” In terms of successful systems management in times of or preparing for crisis, a leaders understanding of his team and the strengths and weaknesses, collectively, as individuals, can be a tremendous asset to crisis management and prevention. This area speaks to “wholeness and synergy” as well as “interdependence”. Teams are created of individuals who typically vary in all facets of life. Effective crisis prevention and management occurs when team members are utilized in such a way that maximizes individual strengths and creates maximal team synergy. A leader’s effectiveness in understanding his or her team members allows for maximal opportunity for clearly defining team roles and responsibilities. This ability, in turn, maximizes team effectiveness and mitigates the effects of crisis on the

Groupwork can be defined as a method of social work that is utilised in order to help individuals to enhance their social functioning through purposeful group experiences and to help cope with their personal group or community problems (Konopka, 1972). The role of groupwork places emphasis on sharing thoughts, ideas, problems and activities, allowing social action groups for instance, to “empower members to engage in collective action and planned change efforts to modify particular aspects of their social or physical environment” (Toseland & Rivas, 2014, p. 38; Pyles, 2009; Staples, 2004). Therefore, reflecting on the processes of groupwork is an essential mechanism for all professionals in order to develop better communication skills, conflict resolution and enhance future performance. This essay will reflect upon the task group processes that were conducted this semester, while evaluating my own role within the group and what was learnt working within a small group.
