group potency  

Definition

  • Group potency is the collective belief within a group that it can be effective. There are two important aspects of group potency: (1) it is a belief of mutual confidence that is shared by the members of the group and (2) it is a general belief that the group is effective across a variety of tasks or situations, rather than only in a specific context.
