Description
This essay intends to answer to question “how do we become better leaders and followers in teams?” We have analyzed two critical incidences which took place in ‘Leading Following and Team Dynamics’ (summer school 06/07). The incidents we selected were ‘Forming the Small Learning Groups’ (week 2) and ‘Tavistock-Style Large Study Group Activity’ (week 9). We have integrated Gestalt and Tavistock theoretical perspectives and reflected on our experiences in order to learn and develop into a better leader and follower.
