breaker

Group Dynamics
• Work gets done in groups of 8 people or less• Ask yourself what task needs to get done? What
configuration will best serve the goal? (pairs, triads, 4, 6 or 8 person groups.)
• Whenever I divide a group (diverge), I always bring the group back together (converge)
• Do subgroups need to be homogeneous or heterogeneous or is random selection acceptable
