Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 5
Explanation: 1. The leader should focus on the positive aspects of the team's performance and how it can continue to make progress. Attention to the achievement of progress can increase motivation.
2. Small goals are more obtainable and give the team a feeling that the larger goal is not out of reach. Small victories can increase motivation.
