1. Introduction

The topic of this essay is how I will lead groups to become great teams, and in fact, it is a learning process of the Leadership & organization dynamics. In this essay, three case studies will be critically presented from Peer Learning Group and Large Learning Group. And the essay will be conducted in three approaches: the developmental approach, the Gestalt approach, and the Tavistock approach. 

2. The Tavistock approach—case study of a peer learning group

There are two famous sayings in the Tavistock approach: the first one is, to venture causes anxiety; but not to venture is to lose oneself; and the second one is, to venture in the highest sense, is precisely to become conscious of oneself. What’s more, the Synergy Model also emphasizes that the whole is greater than the sum of the part. And awareness and resistance are also two of the key concepts in Tavistock (Edwin, 2012).
2.1 Case study—a job in the consultancy team
Once, a team which works for a big organization for dealing with their consultancy offered me a job vacancy as a facilitator. As soon as I arrived in the team, they were keeping explaining to me how effective and efficiency their team was. However, after the explanation, I found that every one went back to their seat and did their job separately. They had different kind of job for each one, and they tried to finish their job all by themselves, without any interaction or communication with each other. In other words, they did not perform teamwork at all. Worse still, it seemed that the workers there were split to several different groups, and they were opposing to each other. Since it is a team which provided consultancy services, and our customers came from different countries around the world, I thought that it was a necessity to perform teamwork within our team then. 
Therefore, I went to Mr. Johnson, the manager who was in charge of our team. I just asked him a few questions as regard to why we did not have regular meetings, why all the team members in our team did not cooperate with each other rather than work on their individual. However, to my disappointment, my manager showed unhappiness and anger to me. He mentioned to me that our team had been working in that way for a long time and that was the way of our team. But from my point of view, all the members in our team were peers. We have the same goals towards work; we have the same job orientation; and even sometimes, we work for the same customer, or customers from the same country or from the same industry. To start with this point, team work is essential to all the peers in our team.
In the following days, I was trying to seize every opportunity to communicate with the peers and managing to get some ideas from them. The first one I came to know was Serena, a young and energetic girl. But as she told me, she was only energetic when she was not working and she was not in the office either. After further contact with her, I knew from her that she also felt that her work then was not efficient at all. Rather, she felt it boring and sometimes was just a waste of time. Another peer I got to know was Flora, a girl who had been working in the team for around two years and a half. Judging from her experience, I think she was already used to the way how our te本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
