Answer to Question 1

D
To champion a process means to defend or support something. Informal, highly respected leaders are the best people to choose as champions. They will help sell the new idea to others in that particular discipline. They may be involved in education, leadership, and ongoing marketing of the idea.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D
A ROLES assessment is useful in identifying, confirming, and visualizing responsibilities, op-portunities, lines of communication, expectations of self and others for the position, and support. This is particularly useful in identifying areas of conflict in expectations, including conflict be-tween the manager's own expectations and those of staff and supervisors and in negotiating role expectations.
