[QUOTE="kalagsd, post: 144059, member: 29494"] Hi all, I’m interested to know if anyone has any experience or advice for managing a difficult group dynamic during a group exercise. I recently attended an assessment centre and was in a very small group for the discussion. One of the people in my group was talking extensively about their ideas/commercial knowledge, the other was a bit more reserved but still contributed. The thing I found difficult was that when they were not contributing an idea, they sat there looking at me, almost waiting for some direction or for me to add structure to the task. To the point where there were awkward silences. I am slightly worried about how this dynamic would affect my performance in the exercise, because I don’t want to have come across negatively when needing to add structure to the task. For example, even when I referred back to the brief to ensure we had actually covered what we were being asked to, they just nodded, without saying words, or didn’t even react at all. It made it feel more one-sided. I am struggling with that post-AC self criticism. [/QUOTE]
