A concept which I found to be interesting had to do with cohesion in groups. This basically has to do with how well members of the same group are able to “mesh” with each other, and how they are able to come together to meet the common goal of the group, without fracturing the group goal into different agendas.
The concept goes on to detail how there are commonalities between cohesive groups, which can usually be identified in individual groups that are able to work cohesively with each other. Some of these commonalities can include things like finding high amounts of individual group member satisfaction in terms of how the group is working and communicating with each other. Another is that groups that are able to work cohesively with each other show a higher rate of efficiency in terms of being able to complete the task while maintaining a positive outlook towards their portion of completing the group goal.
It is clear from the concept that was presented that finding a cohesive group that is able to work is much better than just attempting to complete a group task with members that can’t come together to work toward a common goal.

Wow, I didn't realize this but you're concept that you choose is really good. I agree on how cohesion in groups is important. I had many experience where the cohesion on my group was all bad. I had a time where I had to work with a group filming. One person kept on being negative in all my shots, ideas, and views on this video. It was irritating even though the other people liked my views and such. It ended up being I moved to a different group, that person got a D and I got a A.
