Answer to Question 1

B
Common team member roles can be grouped into three categories: group task roles, group maintenance roles, and self-oriented roles. The self-oriented roles are concerned with personal needs of the group members and may sometimes negatively impact the effectiveness of the group as a whole. Four types of roles are seen in this category: 1) aggressordeflates the contribution of the group by attacking their ideas or displaying excessive competitiveness, 2) blockerhas a tendency to be negative, stubborn, or resistant to new ideas, 3) recognition seekerseeks attention, boasts about accomplishments and capabilities, and 4) dominatortries to assert control through manipulation or using flattery, giving orders, or interrupting others.

Answer to Question 2

D
The first stage of the team process as described by Tuckman and Jensen (1977) is the forming stage, where the team is created and meets for the first time. The second stage of team development is the storming stage, where opposing opinions or interpersonal agendas or issues can surface, increasing the potential for conflict or uneasiness (as noted in the above scenario). This is a natural part of team formation and should be expected whenever people from a variety of disciplines, specialties, and experiences work together. The third stage is the norming stage, where a feeling of group cohesion occurs. The fourth stage is performing, where the team comes together to achieve group goals, and the final stage is adjourning, where termination and consolidation occur.
