POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN GROUPS

How can you help to develop and maintain positive relationships within

groups that you belong?

1. Contribute to a constructive group environment!

When one person does something good, share it with the group.

Help defuse stress, not add to it. When others are less stressed they

will get along better and be more productive.

Show respect to others by listening to their perspectives.

2. Help to build group cohesion.

Cohesion is the extent to which everyone in the group works together

toward a common goal.

Encourage the group to identify its shared goals, and take

opportunities to remind the group of the common goals.

Help the group to focus on what the group has accomplished, not what

they haven’t yet achieved.

Point out reasons you value others in the group.

You can help develop and maintain positive relationships within groups by contributing to a constructive group environment and helping

to build cohesion!
