One thing to keep in mind when working with/in small groups is that there is a critical difference between something being said in front of the group VS something being said to any single member in isolation. And someone interacting with groups needs to be aware when to choose which. On the flipside many people tend to be either more comfortable with a one-on-one OR with a group situation. We all know that friend who is amazing when talked to alone and utterly useless in a group (or vice versa). Someone interacting with groups should ideally be aware which members are outliers like that. Many bad group dynamics can occur e.g. because some group members taking the spotlight steal it from group members that don't particularly like putting themselves into it, but deserve to nontheless.
