#grumo_08: Diversity in the group
Sometimes it’s not easy to harmonise different things.
Maria is still drawing on her paper when the others arrive. This time they meet in a garden in the city. Beate looks curiously over Maria’s shoulder „What are you doing?“ she wants to know. Maria sighs and explains that she is trying to form small groups for a course, but is getting nowhere. She would like as many diversity categories as possible to be taken into account and the small groups to be as heterogeneous as possible.

This time we’re going to let it rip! That’s right, it’s about conflicts in the group. What do I do when everyone is arguing? What is a conflict and how do I deal with it as a group leader or facilitator? Is a conflict always loud? And what do I do when there is no solution?

#thedi: „Building“ Countervailing power – Part 2
Which ingredients does the “magic potion” countervailing power consist of?
We all know the stories of Asterix and Obelix, who, with a mixture of belligerence, self-confidence, shrewdness, cunning and not to forget the dosed use of their magic potion, defy the superiority of the Romans again and again and stand up to them in their legendary Gallic village. There is also a superiority in the conflict of interests between capital and labour. It is an asymmetrical, unequal struggle for participation and fair distribution under capitalist conditions. This makes it all the more important to know exactly what the ingredients are and to be able to analyse them, from which we can brew our „magic potion“ „countervailing power“.

My role as a trainer, part 2
Sometimes groups can be too much for the trainers themselves. Our case group is discussing in the park today whether this is something that can be shown or not. They are obviously in the storming phase again.

Comics as statement
Where do I start? In a world where so many things don’t seem the same as they did a few weeks ago? With a hint that we celebrate 30 issues of #visdo with this blog post? I’ve decided not to put too much emphasis on one or the other topic this time, but instead to give you a tool to celebrate the small #visdo anniversary – to find the right words in a time when many discussions are shifting to the online world and there’s so much to say. And that with comics!
#grumo_05: Storming to good performance
Different group phases
In today’s post we discuss the topic of group phases and look at how they can be identified in practice.
Fortunately, our case group has recently dealt with the topic. So we again take the opportunity to look over the shoulders of our protagonists – Maria, Yasemine, Rudi, Beate and Paul – and hear what they have to say about the topic. This time it was not so easy, as our case group did not meet in the back room of the pub of their choice, but – bingo – online…
Weiterlesen#grumo_04: What does leading a group mean?
My role as trainer
In this part we think about our role as trainers. Beate has been asked to lead a seminar for managers who work a lot with project groups. She uses our case group to test the structure of her seminar. In doing so, she deals with questions like „What is too much control? Where is the border to complete laissez-faire and how much should trainers get involved at all?“

#grumo_03: Agreements for good cooperation
Let’s make a deal…
Rudi is pissed off when he sends a message to his colleagues to skip the next meeting. He had worked with a new group for the first time the day before and didn’t feel like being with people at all. Yasmine calls him and asks if she can do something to improve his mood. Rudi briefly outlines the situation he has experienced and is a bit at a loss as to how he should prepare for the next appointment with the group. „But Rudi, then our meeting is just the thing for you!“
