Wolfpack Syndrome?

Many years ago, a "Personnel" lecturer ran a Management Training session called The Wolfpack syndrome.

He suggested that, wherever there is a group of people, working together or Socialising together, one person would be isolated and "devoured" by the group.

Eventually that person would leave the group.

Then the next one would be picked out and the process would repeat until only a couple ofthe most obstinate ones remained.

Whoever were the "strongest" wolves, and survived, were not always the most intelligent.

He advised managers to be aware & prepared because it nearly always happened..

Strangely enough, maybe, you can see this at the Golf Club, and in many other places.

Have you seen it happen?

Re: Wolfpack Syndrome?

I saw it happen in AA when I was a member - usually some pretty unpleasant people had all the power.

Re: Wolfpack Syndrome?

Oh yes - sadly - more than once and not too far away.

Re: Wolfpack Syndrome?

This explains it a little.
