Complexity theory is a powerful tool for understanding complex interactions in group development. However, it is underutilized in the coaching literature. This paper discusses the implications of non-linear dynamics on group development and provides a toy model of anger in a group of three as an illustration. Although formal mathematical modeling may not be feasible, the insights can help coaches intervene effectively and bring maximum benefits to their clients.
Complexity theory, including non-linear dynamics, provides a powerful approach to understanding and analysing complex interactions as seen when group members learn and develop. However, complexity theory does not feature heavily in the coaching literature, depriving coaches of this tool. This paper discusses the implications of non-linear dynamics on our understanding of group development and illustrate this with a toy model of anger in a group of three. While formal mathematical modelling of group behaviour is probably not achievable, the insights can help coaches understand how best to intervene to maximise their impact and bring benefit to their clients.
