A few notes about Small/Study groups:
Groups tend to make better decisions than individuals.
Study groups should be no larger than 4 or 5 people.
Do not give into "group think": which means agreeing to something

without really thinking through it.

Every time a group meets, you need to spend some time forming the group (talk about the weather, current events, etc.). This should be no longer than 5 minutes and then move on to the task. Also, anyone in the group can be the leader. If someone thinks you are spending to much time forming, then they can say we should get to the task for today.

(I highly recommend Small/Study Groups)

Since leadership is getting people to do what the leader wants

them to because the leader wants them to, and since achievement

creates a hunger for appreciation by the leader, then it

follows that the primary job of the leader is appreciation. Other

tasks the leader may have must be regarded as trivial in

comparison to this. The leader has got to learn how to notice

achievement and thereupon to thank the follower for his gift.
