The first step towards change and to work more effectively within a group culture and its dynamics is to understand
why we act the way we do; then understand why others act the way they do. Just as individuals have unique styles;
groups also tend to develop their own styles or cultures. This culture is a combination of behaviours, values, and
attitudes that most people in the group take for granted.
