Problematic Group Roles
In the group, some members were overshadowed and few were too dominating. A few were not listened to and some were favored a lot. A businessman who was a major donor for the group was given undue importance. Despite his suggestions were often awkward, they were practiced. He was a dominator and the members he disliked were not appreciated by group management a lot. Nothing significant was done against the dominator though.

Group Strategy
The group progression is very important to maintain on going concern. The strategy adopted for going forward was to evaluate group performance after the end of every year to find if the group objectives were achieved or not.

However, sometimes more than few group members join and some old members leave and the group formation restarts. I played the role of coordinator and meeting minutes' writer.
If I was required to facilitate the group too besides coordinating, I would ensure right time and place for group meetings and brainstorming.

Team is a cooperative unit composed of people with complimentary skill committed to a common purpose, performance goals and approach to which they hold themselves mutually accountable.

Goals -- For Bion, groups have specific goals that are differentiated by the manner of dissonance individuals bring: drug dependency, sexual abuse, a fatal disease, etc. This coming together out of homogeneity with a clear and stated aim -- dealing with the issue. Each group may or may not be identical in make up; for instance, there can be commonalities within the group, but the goal is the same. Uncovering
Competition should not be the primary focus of a group decision-making setting because this will not lead to solution-oriented thinking. Rather than focusing on the problem that requires solving, group members are more likely to entertain themselves with methods they can employ to "win" other members of the group to their line of thinking or problem-solving methods. Behaviors that promote best practices in group decision-making include behaviors that encourage all
Group Dynamics and Teams Introduction This paper examines an experience I had in a group dynamic that did not go well. The group was tasked with a rush project and the members of the group were not prepared professionally or personally to meet the demand. The result was a complete failure, but looking back on it I can see why it failed. This paper will describe the experience, discuss it from multiple
