Basic of group dynamics
The group dynamic has a area of confict between a person, the group and the organisation. Every peron is in a group: the family, friends, at work, .... and in every group we as person act different. We and all the other groupmembers give our best and try to find the balance between our needs, so that we can be together and organised.There are four position a person can have in a group:
The ALPHA person is the leader of the group.
The GAMMA persons are these people who have the same opinion as the alpha person and/or want to support this alpha person.
The OMEGA persons are the restrained once. They share the opinion of the alpha person reluctantly and are unsure in everything they do.
The BETA once are the persons who don't identify themselfs with the alpha person. They are independent, have a advisory function and because of this they are potential competitors of the alpha person.
So, it is true that there are different persons in a group I think, but I don't know and don't agree, that every group has this four positions of persons. There can also be a alpha and three omegas and no beta... or what do you think?
First of all: yaaayyy you are blogging in English :):)
AntwortenLöschenWell we all heard the lesson about groups, and as you already mentioned there can be 4 positions in a group. (I guess I don't need to repeat them^^)
I think you are right, I also don't agree that every group has these 4 positions or that every group has the same combination.
I think every combination is possible, I also believe that a group without a specific alpha can work together perfectly.
I guess it all depends on the people in the group itself and not on some rules about how it has to be :)
