My guess is that what make a group successful in the short run, like if you throw a group of strangers together and tell them to do tasks together in a monitored environment for 5 hours, may not be the same things that make a group successful in the long run.
The importance of emotional intelligence should decrease as roles are carved out and members define their niches, and the importance of individual ability should increase as the group optimizes itself.
- hvs 12y agoThat sounds nice, but my experience is usually that people start to build fiefdoms that they don't want other people messing with, intraoffice politics gets involved, and groups become less and less about solving problems and more about individuals working for their own promotions.
- stolio 12y agoThat's a complex system of overlapping and competing subgroups hopefully functioning together as one large group. I would expect that to be more complicated.
- bobmagoo 12y agoThat was my thought as well. I'd be really interested to see how these patterns are born out over time, given all the storming/forming/norming/etc stuff that goes on when teams are first put together or altered.
