Team DynamicsTeam Dynamics
• Division of the group into sub-teams was effective
• Group structure was an informal interactive/web organization
• Some inter-personal tendencies to annoy were successfully suppressed
• Mutual respect in the group was present• Task assignments were often self-chosen
and completed on the person’s own initiative
