They are very influential on others and have context to influence others. People have deadline different development sequence. Punctuated equilibrium model: deadlines play an effect on their initial meetings and crucial midpoint transitions. Potential performance can increase in group size due to the fact probability increases for a superior. Groups tasks get bigger suffer potential process losses. Process losses: performance difficulties that stem from problems of motivating large groups. Conjunctive tasks: performance of group is limited by poorer performer. Actual performance = potential performance process losses: way group put together. Group norms: assembly line and the worst guy is holding everyone back, code of conducts. Tp curve goes down as increase in members you reach a peak. More diverse more difficult to communicate and become cohesive. Roles: positions that have set expected behaviours attached to them.
