Problems faced in group interaction ad ways to overcome these problems


What is group interaction?

Group interaction is where two or more interdependent individuals who influence one another through social interactions. The aim of it is to fulfill and to accomplish a goal or the objectives of a meeting. Whereby the individuals in that group will brainstorm in search for ideas, therefore it requires active participation amongst the group members. Being in a group means that each individual members has their own role to play. Each members will have to contributes and put forth ideas, express their own opinions or arguments,  negotiate, to interrupt politely when asking questions on what are being discussed and to answer whatever clarifications that are needed. Then only any other irrelevant ideas can be weeded out and the group will finally foster a consensus and come to a conclusion, in order for them to achieve the objectives of their meeting. Every group will have a leader. The leader are elected by a higher power or via discussion by the group itself. The elected leader will then manage the discussions, by introducing the subject that are being discussed, inviting other individuals within the groups to contribute their ideas, to seek clarifications on the ideas contributed by the group members and finally closing the discussions after having met the objectives. If the discussions are handled properly and been managed well, it will be an enjoyable event and will have a fruitful outcome. Having skills in group interactions are important nowadays, as we will have to work along many other individuals in order for us to achieve our own or the company's objectives required. Though, group work are sometimes, quite difficult to manage, but it can build up valuable skills in ourselves and contributes to having a successful issue - oriented program. It helps us to be a good negotiator, and to have the skills on how to put forth and to concede your arguments. building group interaction skills also helps us in responding to questions and ways of answering them politely and appropriately.
