30. The hedgehogs It was the coldest winter ever. Many animals died because of the cold. The hedgehogs, realizing the situation, decided to group together to keep warm. This way they covered and protected themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their closest companions. After awhile, they decided to distance themselves one from the other and they began to die, alone and frozen. So they had to make a choice: either accept the quills of their companions or disappear from the Earth.

31. continue Wisely, they decided to go back to being together. They learned to live with the little wounds caused by the close relationship with their companions in order to receive the heat that came from the others. This way they were able to survive. The best relationship is not the one that brings together perfect people, but when each individual learns to live with the imperfections of others and can admire the other person's good qualities.

32. Group Dynamics and Roles • Kurt Lewin, a social psychologist and change management expert, used the term "Group Dynamics" in early 1940s first time. • Expressed the roles and behaviours of people when they work in a group

There are many characters in a team Lion(autocrat):tries to dominate or constantly interrupt Owl(show Off): talks and thinks as they know all the answers. Butterfly(opportunist): keeps changing the topic before others are ready. Hyena(aggressor): doesn't show respect to others, comments negatively about them.

34. Sheep(avoider): refuses to focus on the task or on group relationship problems. • Monkey(Critic): always sees the negative side to any argument, but never suggests alternatives. Puts down the ideas of others. • Cat(help seeker): looks for sympathy from others • Self-confessor: uses the group as a forum for inappropriate talk about self. • Pigeon(Clown): shows no involvement in group and engages in distracting communication.
