-- Discounting behaviors may be used toward one or more workgroup colleagues during group interaction. The intention of the "discounter" is to hinder one member's wish to share his or her knowledge, ideas, perspectives, etc. -- Illustration created based upon from the following study: Smith, B. L.

Abstracted representation of group interaction taking place between different professionals (e.g., high-rise construction workers, surgery teams, etc.). The thin line around each circle represents what you notice first (readily detectable characteristics). The inside of each circle means all deep-level characteristics someone has (e.g., personality, attitudes, education, skills, etc.). Each arrow represents the type of communication taking place between each individual and symbolize "I watch your back, you watch mine". Team mindfulnes is abstractly displayed above the green bow.

UPDATED on 2009 January 20 with ten new ones. Perhaps I should have called them "Plastic Letters". The last ones have glow and transparency effects. I placed a background to show it better. Specular light added to some of the contour effects. A little bit grainy because of Inkscape specular light limitations, but not a too big problem. Well adapted to small filled shapes too. Colorizable. Modifiable.
