ABSTRACT
However a group is actually run, whether by directive leadership, by mutual consent or other method, there is no escaping the fact that those who call the group into existence in the first place continue to have some responsibility for its maintenance unless and until that responsibility has been seen to be transferred to some elected or chosen member or members. And to that end we must consider those acts which when made in the group are intended to move the group in some direction or other, or bring the members to consider what they are doing, where they are going and whether they are on course to achieve what they set out to do.
