Think about the last dissatisfying or discouraging experi- ence you had as a member of a group or team. Perhaps the group did not accomplish its goals, perhaps group members could agree about nothing, or perhaps there was too much social loafing. Now answer the following questions: 1. What type of group was this? 2. Were group members motivated to achieve group goals? Why or why not? 3. How large was the group, what type of task interdependence existed in the group, and what group roles did members play? 4. What were the group's norms? How much conformity and deviance existed in the group? 5. How cohesive was the group? Why do you think the group's cohesiveness was at this level? What consequences did this level of group cohesiveness have for the group and its members? 6. Was social loafing a problem in this group? Why or why not? 7. What could the group's leader or manager have done differently to increase group effectiveness? 8. What could group members have done differently to increase group effectiveness
