Describe the elements of Group Dynamics and why it is important to understand this from an HR perspective. You should make reference to a model of group processes explaining how this may be used to identify and manage group dynamics.

        When it comes to HR management, it is important to know the depth of group dynamics because it has a critical role in both business success and efficient management. With the existence of a better dynamics in a group, the flow towards a goal is smooth and as every other individual in the group effectively works to achieve goals. If there is a poor or inefficient group dynamics, the performance is actually affected in an adverse manner while negative outcome is led by it. For the maintenance of a productive and positive group dynamics, there are basically three elements of group dynamics that should be paid attention to. Thus, it will be the duty in group of the group’s leader to ensure that all ideas are focused upon. Conflict of uneven communication is common within groups as some members communicate excessively while others hesitate to even ask.

A strong leadership: If efficient dynamics is required, the presence of a strong leadership is required as the group’s development is led by the leader. A leader can organize the responsibilities of group members according to their skills to drive the team towards a goal.

Recognition of personalities: It is understandable that every person has his or her own skills which are brought into the group. It is quite significant to recognize the work style, aptitude, and motivation of each member so that the risk of mistakes is minimal.

Understanding the group’s life cycle: The combination of a group can be determined in actually five steps or stairs:

Forming: The combination of a group.

Storming: At this moment or stage, disruptions might arise.

Norming: The common goal is pursued by all members of the group.

Performing: All the group’s member’s function without a disjoint.

Adjourning: The group will be disbanded after the completion of a task.

        Group dynamics can be assisted by the model referred as Tuckman’s Stages. This model helps in the assistance of decision making process. According to this model, there are four stages in which the decision making process should be aligned. The very first stage is referred as Forming, the second one is referred as Storming, the third one is referred as Norming, and the last one is referred as Performing. Later on, another or the fifth stage was added in the stages, which was called Adjourning. In this model, the group’s overall pattern is actually illustrated but if individuals are concerned then of course, they work according to their ways.
