Kurt Lewin, a change management expert, and social psychologist coined the term ?group dynamics? in the early 1940s. He noted team members have distinct behaviors and roles when they work in a group. ?Group dynamics? relates to the effects of these behaviors and roles on other team members and on the group. A group which has a positive group team dynamic is easy to spot. Team members work towards a collective decision, trust one another and hold each other accountable for making things happen. Also, research has found that a positive dynamic team is near twice as creative as a normal group. Whereas people?s behavior disrupts work in a poor dynamic group. Hence, the group may take a wrong decision, or not come down to any decision, because group members could not search for options effectively.
