The Communicative Leader

Who's Who? Group Roles and Team Functioning

Think about your family for a minute. Who is the de facto leader?

That is, who does everyone go to for the plan for the day or the trip?

Who is the joker or class clown of the family?  Who is the nurturer?

These same roles playout in the workplace  -- sometimes we embody these roles formally – such as the leader – but generally speaking, we ebb and flow between the roles throughout our day and as we interact with others to, well, get our work done.

While some of these roles are productive and helpful to group functioning, others can detract or damage employee wellbeing and group health.

Today we’re going to look at group roles, consider how they impact us individually and our team.

Until next time, communicate with intention and lead with purpose.
