Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. As the members come together, the leader must explain the purpose, tasks required, and
behavior expected. The group forms without a concrete understanding of how the goal(s) for
the group will be met. Understanding specific tasks involved takes time and at the beginning,
some conflict is expected and helpful. This builds the group relationship among members to a
cohesive group with a formal structure and function.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale 1: Calling a local beverage distributor is a classic way to address this problem and does not engage the creativity of the staff.
Rationale 2: Asking others to think about different options opens up the possibilities beyond one individual's ideas. This is part of the preparation stage of creativity.
Rationale 3: Finding out the drink preferences of the clients is part of the standard information gathering stage of providing drinks and does not reflect creativity.
Rationale 4: Simply encouraging clients to bring a drink from home is not a creative approach to solving this problem.
