Is there a Group Monster in your group?
Progress:
Take this quiz above to find out if there’s a monster in your group, or if everyone is an Angel.
Here are the possible outcomes…
Vampire
Vampires suck the life out of the group! The only thing positive about this vampires are the “B”lood that they’re drinking. Vampires are a constant dark shadow looming over the group, constantly complaining . They do nothing for the group, other than draining everyone else’s energy. On top of that, Vampires consider their schedule is impossible to work with. Vampires sleep all day, and only work in the middle of the night, making it difficult to coordinate group meetings.
Encourage Vampires to feel more confident and positive about the project and working with the group by making sure they feel included. Encourage them to share their suggestions and opinions and listen thoughtfully. Utilize GroupTable’s Live Chat to work within their schedule, if they are unable to make it to the actual location of a meeting.
Angel
Angels do all the work and stay on task. If it weren’t for Angels, the project probably wouldn’t get done—or get done in peace. Angels are team players, and always looking out for the group.
Encourage Angels to use the GroupTable task list to allocate more of the work to other group members—rather than taking on all of the responsibility themselves.
Witch
Witches think they know best and try to tell the other group members what to do. Witches spend most of their time trying to cast their spell over their minions—I mean, members—to complete the project the way they see fit. They become so overpowering, that no one else’s opinion is heard.
Encourage Witches to trust their fellow group members and be more collaborative and cooperative. If all else fails, use the GroupTable Discussion and Live Chat to discuss ideas and plans, instead of meeting in person, so the Witch can’t “talk over” everyone else and everyone can be “heard”.
Frankenstein’s Monster
Frankenstein’s Monsters don’t pay attention to anything and are usually lost. They complete the wrong task, miss meetings because they misplaced the address, and usually have nothing of relevance to contribute to discussion.
Encourage Frankenstein Monsters to be more organized by double checking the GroupTable Group Calendar; as well as, pay attention to their GroupTable Notifications, which will alert them when a task assigned to them is approaching it’s deadline.
Ghost
Are Ghosts even in our group? Ghosts are notoriously elusive. Their name appears on the group roster, but you have never ever seen them in person. They never attend meetings and provide zero help towards the goals of the group.
Encourage Ghosts to participate and contact them through GroupTable’s Mail, their email, phone, text and sky writing (just kidding) to get their attention. If all else fails, hold them accountable for their actions by inviting your teacher as a “guest” to your group, so they can view who is participating and who’s not.
