2.- CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROUP - COMMON OBJECTIVES

"Individually you need to give 1000% and collectively 100%"

Joaquin Caparrós

Trainer of R.C. Deportivo de la Coruña

It is essential that the GROUP has a series of concrete objectives. The group members should be aware of the common objectives asd not prioritize any personal interests. They should work on the smooth running of the GROUP, as they don't want to encounter any stress or conflict. They need to focus on group unity.

Establishing group objectives in turn requires its members to be motivated and prepared to achieve them. The group will fail if members are more concerned with carrying out their own objectives rather than the group objectives.

As previously mentioned in order for the group to carry out and achieve objectives, the group requieres motivation, cohesion, group unity, productivity and group satisfaction.

Objectives should be clear, but also realistic. At the same time, the whole group should try to carry out the objectives and add value to the GROUP. To conclude, the objectives have to conincide with the environment that the group finds itself in, for example, you can not ask youth association to have same objectives as a school GROUP.
