<!--
Guidance: How to use this template
- Write the weekly entry (Section 6) within 24 hours of your group session, while the detail is fresh. 30 to 40
  minutes is enough.
- Describe behaviour and feelings, not judgements. "I interrupted Sam twice and felt impatient" is usable; "I was
  rude" is not.
- Fill the tracker (Section 7) every week, even when the numbers are zero; the pattern over ten weeks is the evidence
  of your learning.
- Keep group members' disclosures confidential. Use initials or roles in your journal and never put another person's
  private story in anything you submit.
- If the course asks you to submit parts of the journal, check its instructions on length, privacy and AI use:
  reflective writing must be your own.

## 1. Purpose and when to use

<!-- Guidance: Read once at the start of term and write, in one sentence, what you hope to learn about yourself. -->

Most MBA courses teach you about organisations. An interpersonal dynamics course teaches you about yourself in
relationship with others: how your words and silences land, what you feel and avoid feeling, how you respond when
someone is angry with you, and how to build relationships in which people can tell each other the truth. The learning
happens in the room, through unstructured group sessions where the "case" is what members do and feel with one another.

That makes the course powerful and easy to waste. Sessions are intense; insights fade within days; patterns only show up
over weeks. A journal turns the experience into learning in three ways: it captures specific moments while they are
fresh, it makes you name behaviour, feelings and impact precisely, and it gives you ten weeks of evidence to look back
on. Use this journal:

- in an interpersonal dynamics elective or a T-group based leadership lab;
- in a leadership course that uses small-group feedback sessions;
- after the course, as a monthly practice at work.

## 2. Where this kind of course comes from

<!-- Guidance: Background only. You do not need the history to benefit, but it helps you understand why sessions are unstructured. -->

The **T-group** (training group) emerged in the United States in the late 1940s from Kurt Lewin's circle and the
National Training Laboratories. Participants found that discussing their own here-and-now interactions, with a trained
facilitator and feedback from peers, produced more learning than lectures about groups. Bradford, Gibb and Benne (1964)
described the laboratory method and its theory. The format spread to companies and business schools.

Several leading MBA programmes offer courses in this tradition. Stanford Graduate School of Business runs a long-standing
elective, OB 374 Interpersonal Dynamics, widely known by its nickname "Touchy Feely". As of October 2026 the official
course listing says that learning happens mainly through interactions with other T-group members, that T-groups meet
in the evening and at a weekend retreat, that students must pre-qualify before enrolling, and that the course is not a
substitute for therapy (check the school's current course listing for format and eligibility). David
Bradford and Carole Robin, who taught and developed the course for many years, set out its main ideas for a general
audience in *Connect: Building Exceptional Relationships with Family, Friends, and Colleagues* (2021). Other schools run
similar labs under different names. This journal is independent: it is not any school's course material, and it
describes the ideas in original words.

## 3. Core ideas

<!-- Guidance: Learn these five ideas well enough to explain each with an example from your own group by week 3. -->

**1. Intent and impact are different.** You know your intent; others experience only your behaviour and its impact on
them. Most interpersonal conflict comes from treating our intent as if it were our impact ("I was only trying to
help") or treating others' impact on us as proof of their intent ("you wanted to embarrass me").

**2. Stay on your side of the net.** Bradford and Robin use a tennis image: each person has a side of the net. On your
side are your intentions, feelings and the behaviour you observed; on the other person's side are their intentions,
motives and feelings. Feedback stays on your side when it reports what you saw and how it affected you. It crosses the
net when it claims to know the other person's motives or character ("you are trying to control the group"). Crossing the
net invites defence; staying on your side invites curiosity, because nobody can argue with your experience.

**3. Feelings are data.** Naming a feeling in the moment ("I notice I am getting frustrated") gives the group
information it cannot otherwise see and moves an item from the hidden area of the Johari window into the open area
(Luft and Ingham 1955). Many professionals have learned to keep feelings out of work; the course asks you to experiment
with the opposite, in proportion.

**4. Learning happens at the edge of comfort.** Too little risk and nothing changes; too much and you shut down.
Bradford and Robin suggest stretching a little beyond what feels comfortable, in small steps, and noticing what happens.
Track your experiments (Section 7) so you can see the edge move.

**5. Safety is built, not assumed.** Groups learn when members believe they can take interpersonal risks without being
punished or humiliated: what Edmondson (1999) called psychological safety in work teams. Every member contributes to it
by how they respond when someone else takes a risk.

```

## 4. Giving and receiving feedback

<!-- Guidance: Practise the format until it is natural. The format is a scaffold; once you can do it fluently, use your own words. -->

A usable format combines the situation-behaviour-impact (SBI) model associated with the Center for Creative
Leadership with a feeling and a request:

| Part | Question | *Example* |
|---|---|---|
| Situation | When and where? | "In today's session, when we were deciding whether to change the seating," |
| Behaviour | What exactly did the person say or do, observable by a camera? | "you said 'fine, whatever' and looked at your phone." |
| Feeling and impact | What did I feel, and what was the effect on me? | "I felt dismissed and stopped offering ideas for the rest of the discussion." |
| Request or question (optional) | What would I like, or what do I want to understand? | "I would like to know what was going on for you then." |

Receiving feedback is the harder half. Thank the person, ask for an example if it is vague, check your understanding
("so when I do X, you feel Y"), and separate the decision about what to change from the moment of hearing it. You do
not have to agree with feedback to learn from it: it is accurate information about the other person's experience.

| Crossing the net (avoid) | Staying on my side (use) |
|---|---|
| "You don't care about the group." | "When you arrived 20 minutes late twice this week, I felt the group mattered less to you than to me. Is that right?" |
| "You're manipulative." | "When you praised my idea and then argued against it with the facilitator, I felt confused and less trusting." |
| "You always dominate." | "In the first half hour today you spoke six times and I spoke once. I felt shut out, and I also notice I did not try." |

## 5. Ground rules, safety and confidentiality

<!-- Guidance: Agree ground rules with your group in week 1 if the facilitator invites it. Write your own commitments here and reread them before each session. -->

| Rule | What it means in practice | My commitment |
|---|---|---|
| Confidentiality | What members disclose stays in the group; what you learn about yourself is yours to share | [ ] |
| Speak for yourself | Use "I", not "we" or "people" | [ ] |
| Here and now | Talk about what is happening in the room, not stories from outside, unless they illuminate the room | [ ] |
| Feedback is a gift, not a verdict | Offer it to help; receive it as information | [ ] |
| Choice | Each person decides how much to disclose; pressure to disclose is itself feedback to discuss | [ ] |
| Look after yourself | Experiential sessions can stir strong emotions; use the support the course and school offer | [ ] |

Courses of this kind state clearly that they are not therapy. If a session raises distress that does not settle within
a few days, talk to the facilitator and use your school's counselling or wellbeing service. Your journal is a learning
tool, not a crisis plan.

## 6. Weekly journal entry

<!-- Guidance: One entry per week, focused on one or two moments in depth. Copy the table for each week. Spend least time on description and most on what you learned and will try. -->

| Field | Prompt | My entry |
|---|---|---|
| Week and date | | Week [ ], YYYY-MM-DD |
| Moment | One specific moment in the group that stayed with me (situation and behaviour, mine and others') | [ ] |
| What I felt | Name the feelings, at the time and now (use a feelings list if helpful) | [ ] |
| My intent | What was I trying to do? | [ ] |
| Impact | What effect did I have, as far as I know? What feedback did I get? | [ ] |
| The net | Where did I cross the net, or where did someone cross it with me? | [ ] |
| Pattern | Have I done this before, in the group or elsewhere? | [ ] |
| Johari | What moved into the open area this week (feedback received, disclosure made)? | [ ] |
| Learning | What do I understand now that I did not before? | [ ] |
| Experiment | One specific thing I will try next session, slightly outside my comfort zone | [ ] |
| Tracker | Counts for Section 7 | [ ] |

*Example entry (fictional, week 4).* **Moment:** Priya told Jonas that his jokes kept the group from going deeper. I
laughed at the next joke, then went quiet. **Felt:** at the time, relieved and slightly guilty; now, curious.
**Intent:** to lighten the tension because it felt unsafe. **Impact:** Priya said afterwards that my laugh felt like
taking Jonas's side against her. **The net:** I had assumed she was attacking Jonas; I did not ask. **Pattern:** I use
humour to escape conflict at work too. **Johari:** blind area shrank: I had not seen that my laugh was a vote.
**Learning:** smoothing over tension is not neutral; it has an impact on the person who raised it. **Experiment:** next
time tension rises, I will say what I feel ("I notice I want to make a joke because this feels tense") instead of
making the joke.

## 7. Ten-week behaviour tracker

<!-- Guidance: Count honestly. The point is the trend, not a target. Use the spreadsheet formulas to compare the first and second half of the course. -->

Track four behaviours each week: feelings named in the moment, feedback given in the behaviour-impact form, feedback
asked for, and self-rated comfort with interpersonal risk (1 to 5).

| Week | Feelings named | Feedback given | Feedback asked for | Comfort (1 to 5) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 *(Example)* | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2.0 |
| 2 *(Example)* | 1 | 1 | 0 | 2.0 |
| 3 *(Example)* | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2.5 |
| 4 *(Example)* | 2 | 2 | 1 | 2.5 |
| 5 *(Example)* | 3 | 3 | 1 | 3.0 |
| 6 *(Example)* | 2 | 3 | 2 | 2.5 |
| 7 *(Example)* | 4 | 3 | 2 | 3.0 |
| 8 *(Example)* | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3.5 |
| 9 *(Example)* | 5 | 4 | 3 | 3.5 |
| 10 *(Example)* | 5 | 5 | 3 | 4.0 |

Summary (weeks in rows 2 to 11, behaviours in columns B to E):

| Measure | Feelings named | Feedback given | Feedback asked | Comfort | Spreadsheet formula (feelings column) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total, ten weeks | 27 | 28 | 16 | | `=SUM(B2:B11)` |
| Mean, weeks 1 to 5 | 1.4 | 1.8 | 0.6 | 2.4 | `=AVERAGE(B2:B6)` |
| Mean, weeks 6 to 10 | 4.0 | 3.8 | 2.6 | 3.3 | `=AVERAGE(B7:B11)` |
| Change | +2.6 | +2.0 | +2.0 | +0.9 | `=AVERAGE(B7:B11)-AVERAGE(B2:B6)` |
| Comfort trend per week | | | | +0.21 | `=SLOPE(E2:E11,A2:A11)` |

Reading (*Example*): naming feelings rose most. Asking for feedback started lowest and stayed lowest; that is the next
edge. The dip in week 6 followed a hard session; one dip is normal and is worth a journal entry, not a verdict.

## 8. Intent and impact check

<!-- Guidance: Use this once or twice in the term, after a moment where you suspect your intent and your impact diverged. Ask the people involved directly; do not guess their ratings. -->

Pick a moment. Rate your intent on a simple scale, then ask the people involved how it landed for them on the same
scale. The gap is a conversation starter, not a score.

*Example (fictional).* Nadia summarised a heated discussion "to help the group move on". She rated her intent as
helpful, 4.5 on a 1 (unhelpful) to 5 (very helpful) scale. Five members rated the impact 2, 3, 2, 4 and 3: mean 2.8
(`=AVERAGE(B2:B6)`), gap 1.7 (`=4.5-AVERAGE(B2:B6)`). In the conversation that followed, two members said the summary
felt like closing a topic they had not finished; one said it was a relief. Nadia's learning: ask "are we ready to move
on?" before summarising.

| Moment | My intent (1 to 5) | Impact ratings from others | Mean impact | Gap | What I learned |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |

## 9. Mid-term and final synthesis

<!-- Guidance: Reread every entry before writing. Look for patterns across weeks, not highlights. -->

Kolb (1984) describes learning as a cycle from concrete experience through reflective observation and abstract
conceptualisation to active experimentation. The weekly entry covers the first two; the synthesis forces the third
(what is my theory of how I behave in groups?) and sets up the fourth.

| Prompt | Mid-term (week 5) | Final (week 10) |
|---|---|---|
| Three patterns in how I behave in the group | [ ] | [ ] |
| Feedback I heard more than once | [ ] | [ ] |
| What moved from my blind or hidden area into the open | [ ] | [ ] |
| The experiment that taught me most | [ ] | [ ] |
| The relationship in the group that changed most, and why | [ ] | [ ] |
| What the tracker shows | [ ] | [ ] |
| How I will use this at work or in my learning team | [ ] | [ ] |
| My next edge | [ ] | [ ] |

## 10. Practice: example B and exercise C

<!-- Guidance: Rewrite each statement yourself before you look at the answer key. -->

**Worked example B (half solved).** Rewrite each statement so it stays on your side of the net, using situation,
behaviour, feeling and impact.

| ID | Original | Rewrite |
|---|---|---|
| FB-01 *(Example)* | "You never let anyone finish." | "In the last ten minutes you started speaking twice before I finished. I felt frustrated and gave up on my point." |
| FB-02 *(Example)* | "You're so defensive." | [ ] |
| FB-03 *(Example)* | "You only care about looking smart." | [ ] |
| FB-04 *(Example)* | "Everyone thinks you're cold." | [ ] |

**Exercise C (unsolved).** Choose a real working relationship outside the course where something is unsaid. Write the
feedback you would give in the four-part format, the reaction you fear, and what you would do if that reaction
happened. Then decide whether, when and how to have the conversation, and record what happened in next week's entry.

## 11. Common mistakes

<!-- Guidance: Reread before weeks 3 and 7, when groups often stall. -->

1. **Writing a diary, not a journal.** A summary of the session teaches little; one moment in depth teaches a lot.
2. **Judgements dressed as feelings.** "I feel that you are wrong" is an opinion; feelings are words such as annoyed,
   hurt, grateful, anxious.
3. **Crossing the net.** Attributing motives ("you wanted to") instead of reporting your experience.
4. **Treating intent as impact.** "But I meant well" ends the learning; ask how it landed.
5. **Waiting to be safe before taking any risk.** Safety grows when members take small risks and are met well.
6. **Over-disclosing to prove commitment.** Stretch in small steps; pressure to disclose is itself worth discussing.
7. **Analysing others instead of yourself.** The journal is about your behaviour and your impact.
8. **Breaking confidentiality.** Sharing others' stories outside the group, even anonymously, damages trust.
9. **Stopping after the course.** The skills fade without practice; keep a monthly entry at work.
10. **Using the course as therapy.** It is a learning lab; seek professional support for issues that need it.

## 12. Self-test

<!-- Guidance: Answer from memory, then check the answer key. -->

1. What is a T-group, and where did the method come from?
2. Explain "staying on your side of the net" in two sentences.
3. Give the four parts of the feedback format in Section 4.
4. Why is naming a feeling in the moment useful to the group, in Johari window terms?
5. What is psychological safety, and who first measured it in work teams?
6. In the tracker example, which behaviour changed most between the first and second halves, and by how much?
7. A member rates his intent at 4.0; four members rate impact 3, 2, 3 and 2. Compute the mean impact and the gap.
8. Name the four stages of Kolb's (1984) learning cycle and say which part of this journal covers each.
9. Why is "you are too aggressive" weak feedback, and how would you rewrite it?
10. When should a participant seek support outside the course?

## Answer key

<!-- Guidance: Your rewrites will differ; check that they report behaviour and feeling and avoid motives. -->

**Example B.** FB-02: "When I said your summary missed my point, you replied straight away with three reasons it did
not. I felt unheard and stopped explaining." FB-03: "When you corrected the facilitator's numbers twice today, I felt
a bit intimidated and less willing to share half-formed ideas." FB-04: "In our pair exercise you kept your answers to
one or two words. I felt distant from you and unsure whether you wanted to be there." (Speak only for yourself, never
for "everyone".)

**Self-test.**

1. A small, unstructured training group in which members learn from feedback about their here-and-now interactions,
   with a trained facilitator. It came from Kurt Lewin's circle and the National Training Laboratories in the late
   1940s (Bradford, Gibb and Benne 1964).
2. Your side holds your intentions, feelings and what you observed; the other side holds their motives and feelings.
   Report your side, and ask rather than assert about theirs.
3. Situation, behaviour, feeling and impact, request or question.
4. It moves information from your hidden area into the open area, so others understand the effect of the interaction
   and can respond to it.
5. A shared belief that the team is safe for interpersonal risk taking; Edmondson (1999) measured it in work teams and
   linked it to learning behaviour.
6. Feelings named: from a mean of 1.4 to 4.0 per session, +2.6 (`=AVERAGE(B7:B11)-AVERAGE(B2:B6)`).
7. Mean impact 2.5 (`=AVERAGE(3,2,3,2)`), gap 1.5 (`=4-2.5`).
8. Concrete experience (the session and the "moment" field), reflective observation ("felt", "intent", "impact",
   "the net"), abstract conceptualisation ("pattern", "learning", the synthesis), active experimentation ("experiment").
9. It judges character and crosses the net, so it invites defence. Rewrite: "When you raised your voice and pointed at
   me during the vote, I felt intimidated and agreed to something I did not support."
10. When distress does not settle within a few days, affects sleep, study or work, or touches issues beyond the
    course's purpose: talk to the facilitator and use the school's counselling or wellbeing service.
