What is it that makes groups work well?
In order that a group works well, there are various aspects skills, experience and
personality that need to be collaborated. One of the most integral aspect is communication,
which is most integral for any working group (Salas, Rosen, & DiazGranados, 2010). In face-to-
face meetings, group communication needs to be achieved. Transparency and clarity of
communication will allow interpreting ideas and messages which will enable groups to perform
according to objectives and goals defined. The group’s activity by way of transparent
communication will allow shared understanding. Communication includes verbal as well as non-
verbal methods, in group communication, both has to be focused upon. Verbal communication
includes stated or oral and written communications, whereas non-verbal communications include
body language. It is important that along with proper spoken words, a positive body language has
to be maintained to make the group work well.
