Empowerment Leadership Model for Small Groups, Teams, & Families
Course 2, Lesson 10
________________

 
The Group's Task of Keeping Working on Its Purpose


Note:  Whenever "group" or "team" is used, it can mean "group", "team", or "family".
________________________________________________


We might call this major task “the task of perseverance”.  There are a number of subtasks associated with staying on course and being effective over the long run.  They are: 
(1) Identifying and overcoming barriers to the accomplishment of the  group purpose, including interrelationship problems, lack of knowledge and/or resources,  group process barriers and other things that get in the way of success.  

(2) Controlling dysfunctional behavior of  group members and the  group as a whole.  

(3) Providing emotional help to  group members and the  group as a whole as necessary to accomplish the  group purpose.  

(4) Providing mutual aid to  group members and the  group as a whole as necessary to accomplish the  group purpose.  

(5) Assisting members of the  group to get outside help as necessary to accomplish the  group purpose.  

(6) Identifying and utilizing available resources that are necessary for the best accomplishment of the  group purpose.  

(7) Minimizing the negative influence of outside systems. 

(8) Continually evaluating the performance of the  group and its members in light of the  group purpose.

Next, let's explore the first subtask, that of i
dentifying and overcoming barriers to the accomplishment of the  group purpose.
