Workshop
shifting group dynamics
Group dynamics are reset each time a new person joins a team, but rarely does the group reset its norms. Based on Bruce Tuckman’s stages of group development, this workshop teaches groups how to navigate shifting dynamics and how to productively integrate the perspectives of new members. Through activities and facilitated discussion, participants gain an appreciation for constructive conflict, and explore tools to keep group dynamics advancing towards its shared outcome.
Primary objective: Participants comprehend the five stages of group development.
Secondary objective: Participants identify how new members reset group dynamics and employ tools to address this shift.
Tertiary objective: Participants evaluate the needs of an evolving group to ensure productive outcomes.
