Question: Explain how group cohesiveness influences productivity
Step 1: Read the introduction.
In your group there is a stubborn donkey who will never change his opinion no matter what; an entertaining but constantly chattering, mischief-making monkey; and a peacock who proudly shares his "I'm brilliant and colorful" status and struts around but gets little done. There is also an inspirational lion and a loving female momma cat that is usually cleaning up and organizing everyone to make sure they had lunch.
Step 2: Post the following to the discussion board.
Respond to the following, and if appropriate, include personal experience as part of your answers.
Identify two additional animals you'd like to recruit to your group and why. What positive and helpful behaviors would help morale within the group? Who do you think might demonstrate leadership qualities and why? What would you do to encourage helpful behaviors and cultivate leadership in the group?
How would you control or manage those who were harming the group's productivity and morale?
