The Group Styles Circumplex

• Consensus decision making • Solutions superior to independent

solutions • High level of enjoyment & satisfaction • View group process as a way of

increasing effectiveness

• Treat group as means for satisfying own goals

•Marginal quality solutions limited by level of expertise of those who gain control

• Impersonal, sometimes tension-ridden group process

• Individual members become dominated by the group as a whole

• Lack of constructive differing, creative thinking & individual initiative

• Low level of satisfaction with solution

Developing a Plan for Improvement

Discuss with your group – Does the group’s profile seem to accurately describe the style

of the group?

Do the styles explain the group’s performance in terms of

solution quality and acceptance?

How much agreement was there among members regarding

the styles?

The goals for the group’s next meeting: Which two styles will

your group target for change?

Action steps: How will your group improve its process in terms

of these styles?
