Think about group experiences you have had where group members exhibited a low degree of cohesion. What was the group like? What were the behaviors of the group leader that lead to poor cohesion? What were the behaviors of your fellow group members that contributed to this feeling?

I have had a group experience where the group members exhibited a low degree of cohesion during a group project in college. The group was made up of individuals who did not know each other well and had different communication styles and work habits. The group leader did not take the time to establish clear goals and expectations for the project, which led to confusion and disorganization within the group. Additionally, the leader did not actively facilitate communication and collaboration among group members, leading to a lack of unity and teamwork.

The behaviors of the group leader that contributed to poor cohesion included a lack of communication, failure to delegate tasks effectively, and a lack of support for group members. This created a sense of disorganization and frustration within the group.

Fellow group members also contributed to the low degree of cohesion by not actively participating in group discussions, failing to meet deadlines, and not taking ownership of their assigned tasks. This lack of accountability and commitment to the project further hindered the group's ability to work together effectively.

Overall, the lack of clear leadership and communication, as well as the disengagement of group members, led to a low degree of cohesion within the group. This experience highlighted the importance of strong leadership and active participation from all group members in order to achieve a cohesive and successful group dynamic.
