Answer to Question 1

By noting how members interact in a group, the leader can decide which skills to use in order to promote good group dynamics. For instance, if a member tries to dominate discussions early in the group, the leader can use cutting off skills to give others the chance to share. If a member is frequently silent, the leader can use drawing out skills to facilitate greater participation. In addition, the leader can attend to whether or not he or she talks after each member so that members have more opportunities to interact with one another.
