All
facilitators work with groups. The plans we make, the processes we use are
'relatively' straightforward but the group is not always like that. No matter
the stated purpose or formal structure associated with a group, all groups have
invisible links and preferences around which they are organised. This is the
world of sociometry as conceived and developed by Dr JL Moreno. We may not know
which sociometric preferences or rejections are important in the group until
they interfere with or derail the work. At that point the question is, 'Is
there enough mutuality to get the work done?'
In
this session we will focus on the use of sociometry, the principles behind it
and the building of mutuality in groups. Understanding this work is also
critical in coaching because you will invariable need to investigate the
client's sociometry in the workplace. Further, each of us, whether facilitator,
coach or client, will benefit from developing an awareness of our own
sociometric position in the living group.
