Keep Learning to Drive That Car
This is an interesting prompt, which I found challenging to apply to Group Dynamics until I realized that unlike driving a car, most aspects of Interpersonal skills perhaps should not be automatic and should take attention and effort. We get sloppy and tend to make more errors in dealing with others when we think that we have nothing left to learn about the topic as there will always be new situation in which to learn. In my own experience, it is when I am comfortable with my skills and think I know what I’m doing or what will work that I make the most assumptions about the group and things go sideways. It’s uncomfortable, but groupwork skills benefit from the knowledge that you are never really ‘done’ learning how to be with others as you and they change over time. Perhaps one skill that could be automated is ongoing reflection of how current Interpersonal strategies work (or don’t work) for yourself and others in the pursuit of refining your skills and expanding your toolbox (something that we should probably think about as we drive as well haha!).
