Group Leadership Reflection

In the future when I become a licensed counselor I may be asked to lead a counseling group, therefore, it is very important for me to gain as much experience or knowledge on the techniques and strategies which will enable me to be a good and efficient group leader. To help me accomplish this I was asked to observe a group meeting of interest and to learn from my observations. I was to be on the lookout for interaction, behaviors which I felt supported effective group work and interactions, behaviors that hindered effective group work, the group leader’s leadership style, if I would do anything different if I was the group leader, something that resonated with me and finally, how I would use what I observed later when on in my
career.
