Answer to Question 1

Students could answer supporting or coaching depending upon how they interpret the scenario. Directing and delegating are not acceptable answers. The group member displays low commitment (missed meetings, minimal contribution) but at least some competence is presumed because of her major in finance and minor in communications. Some might interpret this as moderate to high competence and would select supporting style; others might interpret this as some competence, thus coaching style is appropriate. Students should describe the development level explicitly, using levels of competence and commitment that match the appropriate style as they answer this question.

Answer to Question 2

False
