INTRODUCTION
Understanding the nature and types of groups, Recognizing the assets
and liabilities of groups.
DEFINING AND
CLASSIFYING GROUPS
Group
 Two or more individuals, interacting and
interdependent, who have come together to achieve
particular objectives.
TWO TYPES OF GROUP 4

1. Formal Groups
 Formal groups are designed to unite people so that they can work
together to achieve a given goal. They are usually formed by an
organization and include a hierarchical structure. Basically, this means
that everyone has a clearly defined role in the group.
Command Group
 Which are formed by members who all report to the same person. For
instance, a group of employees whom all worked for and reported to
the same manager would be considered a command group.

Task Group
 Which consists of people who are all brought together to complete a
certain task. Task groups can be developed both within and outside of
a formal work environment and are only intended to last until the task
is completed.
Committee
 Which consists of a group of people who are elected. Usually,
committees come from within a larger group and are formed in order
to tackle particular issues or make collective decisions.

2. Informal Group
 is one that's not organizationally determined or influenced and usually
formed by the members themselves in response to the need for social contact.

Interest Group
 A group of people who come together to satisfy a common interest.

These individuals often enjoy similar activities and have common values
and interests.

BRUCE TUCKMAN’S STAGE OF


GROUP DEVELOPMENT

WHAT IS TUCKMAN’S THEORY?


 Tuckman’s theory was first proposed by psychologist Bruce
Tuckman in 1965. It stated that teams would go through 5 stages
of development: forming, storming, norming, performing, and
adjourning. These stages supposedly start when the group first
meets and last until the project ends.
