Abstract
The author describes his development as a consultant and trainer by sharing some instructive moments in his quest for a deeper understanding of group dynamics. This article chronicles a shift from relying on individual psychology to understand behavior in groups to an appreciation of systemic influences and unconscious dynamics within the group as a whole. The author concludes that there are multiple forces driving observable behavior in groups. He encourages readers to be alert to the group(s) in the individual. The moment the individual enters a group, the group enters that individual.
