• When a group becoming a too cohesive, it can be harmful to the group. When a group becomes too cohesive group-think develops. Group-think occurs when a group becomes a so cohesive that group moral and uniformly of opinion become very important to the group.  

group cohesiveness is the strength of the group

Simply group cohesiveness means the togetherness of the group members. Actually cohesiveness is more or less important to success of the group. Because when we are playing a role of group member all members should act as an individual. To improve group cohesiveness following factors are very much important. They are,

•  Clear understanding on each other
•  Interest to work towards the group objectives
•  Think about other members' mental & physical situations
•  Understand that what a member should do on behalf of the group

By improving following factors a group can build up their cohesiveness among the group members. As university students we always have to work as a group. Though there are some differences among the group members & their views we should able to manage those things &   be a successful group. When we are doing a group activity all members must give their contribution for that work. Then only we can get synergistic effect from the group. But some members tend to be a free riders. Under such kind of situation cohesiveness can't be continued. And also if there is cohesiveness among members such kind of things can't be happened. So in my point of view group cohesiveness is highly affect to success of the group & otherwise many problems between members can be arisen.
