Before I started using a power meter, on group rides when it was my turn to pull, sometimes I would get excited about hills and people would start getting spit out the back of the group. I received complaints about this. What can I say, I like to climb fast?
Riding with a power meter is a great way to make sure I'm keeping wattage and speed at a level where everyone can keep up. It's been very helpful for keeping the group together. (Keep it under 400 watts for extended climbs!)
On my Garmin, I generally have the map screen pulled up, and below the map it displays my speed and 3-second power. With that data, I can be really conscientious about effort on group rides.
