This document describes two interventions for improving group dynamics: the Appreciations and Concerns Exercise and Responsibility Charting. The Appreciations and Concerns Exercise involves each group member writing appreciations for and minor concerns about other members. Members then take turns sharing what they wrote. This allows expression of appreciation and addressing of concerns. Responsibility Charting is used with work teams. It involves clarifying who is responsible, needs to approve, should support, or needs to be informed about decisions and tasks. Responsibilities are assigned and guidelines are provided, such as assigning one clear responsible person for each task.

1. The Appreciations and concern Exercise By. Dolly oza

2. This intervention may be appropriate if interview data suggests that one of the deficiencies in the interactions of members of a group is lack of expression of appreciation, and that another deficiency is the avoidance of confronting concerns and irritations.

3. Need for Appreciation and concern Excercise It is used when data to suggest group members lack appreciation for fellow members and also group member to avoid confronting concerns and irritations.

5. Each member is also asked to write down one or two minor irritations or concerns related to each person that may be interfering with communications, getting the work done effectively, and so on.

6. Along with the assignment, the facilitator may make some suggestions, such as;You be the judge of which concerns to raise? Will be helpful to the relationship? Will it be helpful to the group? Can the person do anything about it? Would it be better to talk privately with the person?

8. Someone is asked to volunteer to be the first person to listen to member of the group.

11. Support (S) – providing logistical support and resources for the particular item.

13. Some guidelines to conduct this intervention more effectively are:

14. Assign responsibility to only one person. That person initiates and then is responsible and accountable for the action.

16. The assignment functions to persons at times becomes difficult. For example, a person may want A-V on an item, but not really need it; a person may not want S responsibility on an item but should have it; or two persons each want R on a particular item but only one can have it.
