Whenever working in small groups, there is usually something that does not go in accordance to our plans and at times, it can lead that group off the path and direction they were headed. However, the importance of being in a small group is teamwork and helping each other getting what needs to get done in the amount of time they have. Going through the good and bad together.
There are few things however, that can have a big impact on a small group negatively and positively correlated. First we have entropy, which pertain on the group losing focus and organization and how there is no equal control in the group. If everyone in the group is saying something at the same time, and there is an over-dependence on rules and regulations and new ideas, that can lead to chaos and disorganization. In order for a group to be effective and avoid entropy occurring, it is good to watch and be aware of how ideas are coming into the group and that there is a balance within the group. Equifinality is when the small group is in harmony and is able to maintain that balance and be successful on their process and tasks by using "different routes to same destination." This impacts the group in a positive way because how the journey to the end point is conducted is what really matters. If a group does not have a good balance and all the ideas and communication is lacking, the end point will seem further and be even harder to cross. However, when equifinality is in place, then the group will be able to become more successful and complete everything in a more harmonious manner.
