Personal disagreements between individuals were often handled by facilitators in the Kolb and Rothwell (1999, 2000) studies, by calling for a break. This choice allowed individuals time to cool off, gave those involved a chance to discuss the dispute away from the group and with or without the facilitator, and also allowed facilitators time to consider their options. If a physical break is not desired or feasible, dividing a large group into smaller groups for a discussion, of some aspect of the group task, has the advantage of physically separating the two arguing individuals. Another alternative, if it makes sense in the sequence of events, is to begin an aspect of discussion that requires close attention and action steps from all members. These options all involve a break of some sort and makes sense for short-term groups, when a disagreement is not relevant to the group’s purpose or the task at hand.
