As they meet the first couple of times, Tom and Monica push to develop strategies to achieve their goals. Discuss the various negative and positive roles found in the group.

Answer to Question 1

The following roles are represented in the team:

a . Positive group roles:
i. Juanitaleader
ii. Robertharmonizer
iii. Kumarfacilitator

b. Negative group roles:
i. Tomdominator
ii. Jimairhead
iii. Monicadetractor

Negative roles are extinguished as a group communicates openly about its goals, strategies, and expectations.
Tom and Monica seem to be at the norming stage as they are involved in developing strategies and activities that promote goal achievement. The team could benefit by first spending time forming (becoming acquainted with each other and the assigned task) and storming (dealing with conflicting personalities and ideas). The team could then more effectively develop strategies to accomplish its tasks and more likely reach its optimal performance level.
