How to create a High Perfoming Team by understanding Group Dynamics

Behind the Scenes at Taylor Studios, Inc ©: "Last week a few of us went to a presentation by Pat Murray on Group Dynamics. Since we all work in groups it is good to know the psychology of groups. We are a social animal. Our behaviors, character, identity, status and place in the world all come from imprinting from our groups. These groups could include our family, military, corporate, religious and other social organizations. Groups are a mental configuration. There is no individual action there is only group action. Connection to a group is a requirement for human survival. Many people don’t get over being dumped from a group. Long term military people die on average 18 months after leaving the military.
