Question

All of the following are characteristics of an effective group member, except:
a.
Develops leadership-oriented structure
b.
Identifies clear goals
c.
Gathers and uses information effectively
d.
Develops a variety of viable options.

Answer 1

a. Develops leadership-oriented structure

Explanation: Effective group members typically help set clear goals, gather/use information, and generate viable options. Emphasizing a leadership-oriented structure (a rigid leadership hierarchy) is not generally a required characteristic of an effective member; effective groups often use shared leadership and task-focused organization instead.
