Nadia is new to group facilitation. Her first meeting went really well. Everyone was agreeable and respectful. She is telling her friend about her experience, and her friend tells her that she obviously has a great group. Is this an accurate assessment?
Answer
A
Yes, if the first meeting goes well, the other ones always do as well.
B
No, groups often start out with members being overly agreeable; it is too soon to judge.
C
No, members are clearly repressing their feelings and will have major conflicts later.
D
Yes, the first meeting is the most important, so the others do not matter as much.
Explanation
A pleasant first meeting is encouraging, but it does not prove that the group will work well over time. Members may initially be especially agreeable while they are getting to know one another, so Nadia needs more experience with the group before judging it. Choice B makes that cautious assessment; choice C goes too far by assuming that hidden feelings and later conflict are certain.
