Informal Groups, Leadership and Productivity

Abstract

It is argued that no one can ignore the existence of informal groups within formal organisations. They perform necessary functions and satisfy human needs. The role of the leader to achieve co‐operation between the formal and informal organisations, thereby encouraging group goals and company goals to coincide, is explored.
