Article On Working Effectively In Groups

Helen:

So, Brad, what did you think of the article on group work?

Brad:

Oh hi, Helen ... yeah it was pretty good ... with helpful pieces of advice on how to make group work effective.

Helen:

I think we were lucky to be given such a straightforward text to present at the management skills seminar.

Brad:

Yeah ... actually shall we discuss it now ... have you got time?

Helen:

Sure ... it’s only a ten-minute presentation, so we just need to explain and then give our views on the main points raised in the article.

Brad:

I’ll jot down some notes ... Right.

Helen:

So, there are three main sections. I suggest we start with listening.

Brad:

Yeah ... effective listening in groups ... because it’s not something that’s

Helen:

No ... and we should say that in the presentation.

Brad:

Yeah ... And also effective listening’s pretty simple, you know, I don’t think it’s hard to learn.

Helen:

Well ... people think it’s easy, but in my experience most of us tend to be very lazy listeners.

Brad:

OK - I wouldn’t argue with that.

Helen:

Something I do think we should emphasise is the power of the listener’s

Brad:

... not that you’re just waiting for them to finish.before jumping in with your own

Helen:

Ah ha.

Brad:

Right ... the next section is on goal setting - let’s make sure we’re clear what the

Helen:

Yeah - well, firstly it says that all group members must be given time to

Brad:

... that’s it, yeah.

Helen:

... and then did it say that the whole group should agree on common goals?

Helen:

That’s a bit too strong. It’s more that everyone’s agendas should be equally acceptable ... but it does say that goals have to be realistic, you know ..... achievable within a particular time?

Brad:

You’ve got it. That’s really what the article’s saying. There isn’t really any point in having ‘ideals’ if group members know they won’t come to anything within a reasonable period …

Brad:

So ... I think a summary covering those points will be enough for that part of the presentation, don’t you?

Helen:

Yep ... Now the last section is about conflict resolution.

Brad:

Actually, I thought it was the worst part of the article.

Helen:

Me too .

Brad:

I don’t think it went into sufficient detail on the issue.

Helen:

Actually I thought it devoted too much space to it but that it was all rather boring, you know.

Brad:

It didn’t mention some of the more radical theories ...

Helen:

... absolutely .I found that really irritating.

Brad:

Right ... and also I think it could have said more about conflict sometimes being healthy in groups …

Brad:

Absolutely ... it just mentioned rather glibly about how we should avoid thinking of winners and losers and that quick resolution of conflict is always desirable.

Brad:

Without explaining what these terms mean ... ?

Helen:

Well, it gives quite detailed definitions but doesn’t develop a proper argument.

Brad:

Right ... So for the presentation, I think we just give some definitions and ...

Helen:

... and then explain what we felt were the weaknesses in the article’s treatment of conflict resolution.

Brad:

Yeah ... good.

Brad:

So, let’s think about what we have to prepare for the actual presentation.

Helen:

Well, I suppose we’ll use PowerPoint ... but I’m hopeless at using it, especially if it has any visuals. I really have to look into doing a course on it because I know I’ll need it in the future.

Brad:

Don’t worry, I’m quite happy using PowerPoint and I’ll put it together when everything else is ready.

Helen:

That’s a relief ... but, yes, do that later.

Brad:

OK. Now, I heard the tutor saying we have to include some well chosen quotations from the article?

Helen:

I’m not sure if we do ... I’ll email him to find out.

Brad:

No need, I can just have a look at the specs he gave us when he set the task ...

Helen:

That’ll be quicker.

Brad:

But the tutor definitely said we have to prepare a handout to go with the talk ... I’m not really sure how we do that.

Brad:

But the tutor definitely said we have to prepare a handout to go with the talk ... I’m not really sure how we do that.

Helen:

Sarah did one last year ...

Brad:

Who’s she?

Helen:

She’s doing the same option as me on marketing. I’ll ask her advice on what to include.

Brad:

Great. So that just leaves the bibliography at the end. I suppose it’ll mainly be articles.

Helen:

Yeah. So we’ll just look on the web ... and we can leave that till later.

Brad:

But we’ve been advised against that ...

Helen:

Well, we could have a look through some journals in the library.

Brad:

I think we should start by looking through module handbooks. I think that’ll give us some good leads.

Helen:

Yeah ... you’re probably right. So, that’s all the ...
