Description
Members of a group are motivated to help achieve the goals of the group. This is a classic situation of conformity, where the individual replaces their own desires with the greater good.
Example
I am a member of the Parents Association at the local school where my children attend. I know many teachers there and spend many hours helping out the school.
So what?
Using it
Be a member of a group. Ensure the group goals are aligned with your goals. Ensure the others in the group know the goals.
Defending
When looking at a group, find out their goals and decide whether these make sense to you before joining.
