helping the group get along

Members also perform activities which help the group to get along. These include:
  • Encouraging: building confidence in other members through positive statements or praise
  • Harmonizing: speaking up to lend support to another member
  • Compromising: accepting ideas or methods that include elements of your ideas with those of another group member
  • Gatekeeping: keeping the lines of communication open by listening, speaking, and asking for feedback
  • Consensus seeking: testing whether or not the group is in agreement, while being sensitive to the views of individual group members
  • Facilitating: helping communication by testing understanding, requesting restatements, and clarifying meanings
