A team focused on its work can achieve incredible things. But we all see the energy of teams getting diverted into distractions. I want to lay out five things teams can get preoccupied with.
1. Mighty Leader
2. Terrible Danger
3. Fantasy Future
4. Utopian Unity
5. Missing Out
The spark of this video comes from Wilfred Bion, a military captain in World War One, a notable psychoanalyst and pioneer of group dynamics - he suggested that as well as "the work group", there’s often also another group at play - one driven by instinctive assumptions that occupy a lot of emotional energy (he called it "the basic assumptions group").
What else?
This video comes in relation to my company www.letsgo.so
