Definition
- In a description of the first Tavistock Group Relations conference, which was held in collaboration with the University of Leicester in 1957, two researchers wrote: Professional workers and managers have always had to deal with group problems. During the last few decades, there has been a rapid growth of interest in small faceto-face groups and in the influence such groups exert both on their individual members and on the larger organizations of which they form part.
