Group Decision Making

Group Decision Making
 Emergence/Reconciliation
 Can be a delicate stage
 Not too early – views need to be expressed
 One member (or more) needs to help to
reconcile differences and build on points of
agreement
 Decision emerges rather than being made

Group Decision Making
 Reinforcement
 Team should accept the decision of
nearly all members
 Increases unity and cohesiveness of the
group
