Talk about people including yourself, from the

group, in respect of the incident to explain behaviours, words, feelings,thoughts and relate to theories we discussed, (list made on the flip chart lastseminar) which are all readily available in your core text and have beendiscussed in seminars and lectures e.g. leadership, group dynamics, learningstyles, communication, organisational culture (maybe comparing your groupto a type of organisational culture), or even individual personality or culturalinfluences - reference diversity etc. You should be able to get at least 10 -12references.Obviously the key to the report is identifying the incidents first.The opening summary will need to be written last when you know what thesummary of the whole essay is, it won't count in the words but should be keptsuccinct.
