Live And Social Groups With Links

The concepts of in and out groups and a href=http://www.lpdl.org target=_blankPublic Directory Link/a are that the in groups tend to be those in which the employee and their boss have a good relationship. They are willing to do certain tasks without friction or questions. Many times the in group will also get preferential treatment because they are seen as ambitious. br /

The out group on the other hand may seem like they are always fighting an uphill battle, and with a href=http://www.lpdl.org target=_blankLive Public Directory Listing/a They question everything. They may not get along with their managers on many levels and they also have a hard time with other team members. They seem to be the less ambitious.br /

There was a situation where I was in the “in group” where I got along well with my boss and things ran smoothly. From personal experience I definitely can say that the atmosphere at this job was very pleasant. Things went well it seemed most of the time. You also feel like you have someone in you corner at all times.br /

I have seen some one in the out group. That individual just never seemed to get involved, they where always the last to get information. The individual never seemed to be involved in the big projects. They tended to get stuck doing the little tedious tasks. It is not the ideal situation to be in. br /
br /
Some of the major differences between the two groups where the fact that the in group was always involved, always seemed to be doing the right things, even if they where in the wrong direction, they where perceived ok. The out group was never included, was getting the tedious tasks, mainly the leftovers or hand me downs.br /

As far as effecting the organization it just is not good. Moral is down when the two groups try to intermingle. There is always tension between the two. The productivity in the environment is depleted because no one really has an idea who should do what because of the communication breakdown.br /
br /
The two groups where based on task performance. Each group was responsible for the same amount of work. It just always seems that the in group was always better equipped to handle situations. The out group always seemed one step behind. This also can be because the out group may not be up to par or not as well equipped to perform certain tasks. Be it they are less experienced or have a less understanding or education to perform the tasks at hand.br /

From a leadership standpoint, it is the leader’s responsibility to make both parties work in the best way possible to perform job functions. If the direction of the two groups can not meet somewhere on common ground either the leader needs to change, or the members of the groups need to. The failure of the group as a whole to perform a function ultimately falls on the leader. They are responsible if the group fails or succeeds.
