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.
3. Rewards, either tangible or intangible, are motivation builders.
4. The leader should not focus on errors. This team is already not doing well, so focusing on the negative will not help.
5. Focus on what is going well will help the team feel as if it can achieve more.
