The group I have decided to closely examine, is the group I encounter every day at work Altogether there is only four of us; David is our boss (he is a lawyer), Paul who is also a lawyer but works under David, Mary is the paralegal and Erica is the secretary. We have been together a little shy of a year. Over the course of this past year there have been many changes. I was hoping to look closely at the structure of this group and the changing aspects of it, mainly the cohesion. To start I would like to explain how the group first worked, the individuals in this group and their roles. Most of the roles have prevailed, but because of the development of our group, and the increased cohesion, some of our roles have changed. David should defiantly play the role of task orientation, and for the most part he does. He has this fear of being too bossy and tries not to demand too much. He leaves the details up to Mary, and however we wants to accomplish something he tries not to interfere. David is one of the stronger information givers of the group, but that is why we are a team, no one in the group knows how to do everything necessary to finish a project. David knows the law and the rules of the court. He
David had told Paul that he was to give Mary his best work, that she was there to catch David's mistakes not Paul's. Everyone was very polite and worked very nicely together. Every now and then though, he plays the playboy role and just spends the day "out in the field" or home. He was happy to pick up where David left off, in as far as authority, but his lack of interest kept him at a far enough distance so as not to create any enemies. Paul is the information seeker and information giver. Everyone seemed to want to work together. I thought this may be so because everyone saw how the person above them had to adjust to work with them. I'm sure they could use some work on motivation, but I don't see their motivation as a problem. Since cohesion is multidimensional, I wanted to examine the different aspect of cohesion and how they apply to this group. Showing her where all work ended up, how we filed all the clients, how the information was stored on the computers, and so on. Cohesion is the aspect that was keeping them together, and helping them work with one another. As a group we all had relationships with one another. She slowly came to play the harmonizer and the compromiser because she could. Without any intentions, the work group was meeting up outside of the office at different functions, and enjoying each other's company. Mary started picking up some of Paul's slack and Paul made sure his work was up to a certain level before it left his office.
