2. Three types of goals 1. task, 2. maintenance 3. Personal
Ideally a group member will combine all three 3. Group-type Goals:
Task Maintenance 4. A goal is a endpoint toward which an individual
or group of people value and are working toward. Specific goals
establish and maintain motivation Challenging goals heighten
performance as they are used to evaluate performance 5. They need
to be realistic but challenging Commitment to goals is increased
when They are made public They are set by the group Goals need to
be short and long term 6. Short term goals are the stepping stones
to the long term goals 7. Remember: Start small and work your way
up!!! 8. 1. Describe how each goal will be completed break it down?
2. Who will complete each task? 3. When will it be completed? 4.
How will it be evaluated? How will you recognize it when it is
achieved? 9. 1. Task/Achievement Goals Major outcomes or products
Obvious achievements or learning Behaviours that help you reach
task goals Clearly define and report in on progress Summarize
important points Outline a plan 10. 2. Maintenance Goals Relate to
the climate of the group & relationships that exist between
members Maintain satisfactory cooperation levels Behaviours that
help you reach them: Provide encouragement and support Limit
critical comments and personally directed criticism Arbitrate
disputes all own a piece Increase group cohesiveness we ness 11.
When maintenance goals are achieved task goals are more effectively
accomplished! Either goal can be a priority at any time The
relationship between the two fluctuates constantly 12. We all bring
them to a group but they may be different for all of us They are
the things we hope to benefit from or gain from personally in a
group 13. For some personal goals will be more important than group
goals Two dilemmas may emerge: 1. Mixed Motives 2. Hidden Agendas
14. Member must decide between their own goals and the divergent
goals of the group Can make group work hard Can demand compromise
You must work within the limits or work to change them 15. A goal
held by a member but unknown to other group members, which
interferes with the groups efforts Annoying Destructive When
destructive; must be confronted within the group 16. Have an open
discussion of the issue Avoid blaming, or criticizing Use I
statements not you statements Try it statements it seems the group
is not prepared You can meet both personal and group goals in a
group but you must be transparent and will to discuss issues as
they emerge 17. The manner in which each group member interacts
with other group members A set of behaviours A tendency for members
to specialize in a role 18. The manner in which each group member
interacts with other group members; behaviors 1. Task Roles related
to the accomplishment of tasks/achievements 2. Maintenance -

needs not group needs 19. The group can make a person with high
