Record 2 1990-01-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Group Dynamics
  • Leadership Techniques (Meetings)
CONT

... it was found that the greatest productivity and morale occurred with a "democratic" leader who encouraged participation in decisions, gave a clear picture of the group activities and the reasons for his requests, took an active but not overactive role in the group's activities, etc.

OBS

... if a leader has good personal relations with his group and the task is routine and his authority well-defined, he is likely to be more effective if he is "directive", rather than democratic and permissive.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Dynamique des groupes
  • Techniques d'animation des réunions
DEF

(...) animateur qui, par son attitude face à un groupe, maintient la coopération dans le sens des objectifs en préservant la méthode de travail et en facilitant les échanges sans intervenir sur le contenu et sans fournir d'idées de fonds.

CONT

L'animateur démocratique n'est pas directif sur le plan du contenu de la discussion, mais il l'est sur le plan de la procédure.

CONT

(...) l'animateur démocratique doit assurer une présence constante au groupe, en étant attentif à tout ce qui se dit et en ne tolérant pas d'apartés. Sa personnalité, (...) son respect pour autrui, sa capacité d'identification aux vues et aux sentiments d'autrui sont autant de qualités propres à assurer l'efficacité et le succès de la discussion, et, partant, du groupe.
