• 1) begin to understand more thoroughly the nature of group dynamics

and effective teamwork, particularly the interrelationship of process

and content (task) and,

• 2) learn to apply certain principles and skills of group process toward

greater team effectiveness.”

-William Burke

 The successful teams are characterized by:
 The absence of highly dominant individuals, and
 A particular style of leadership.
 Successful leaders were skeptical people who sought to impose some
shape or pattern on group discussion, and on the outcome of group
activities.
 They focused attention on the setting of objectives and priorities, and
shaping the way team effort was applied. The successful leaders were
tough, discriminating people who could both hold their ground in any
company, yet not dominate the group.
