Read through the situation below entitled "The Group Leader Dilemma" and understand the situation being shown. Let the following questions be your guide for your reading:1. Who are the two people you would choose to be included in your group? Why did you pick these two people?2. Were your answers based on past experiences with group activities? If yes, how did you feel while working with them?3. Do you think almost all established groups had the same problems and sentiments as you did when they started forming their respective groups? Are these “birthing pains” (initial problems) necessary for the growth of the group? Situation: In one of your subjects, your instructor assigned you to lead a group to accomplish a project. Additionally, the instructor required every leader to pick two (2) more people to be included in their group. After the instructor met with the leaders, the groups started forming immediately. People who have known each other for so long naturally grouped up together. While people who kept to themselves or have no specific circles are waiting to be picked. You are left with 6 people to choose from:Potential Groupmate #1: A knowledgeable person who has a great grasp of most of the subject matter. Due to always being at the top, he/she has tendencies to arrogantly criticize every move if they are less than what they consider as ‘perfect’.Potential Groupmate #2: A very hardworking person who tries to give his/her own share of the work. Being engaged in various extracurricular activities and groups, his/her share would be given with delay and might not attend almost all meet-ups for the activity.Potential Groupmate #3: An optimistic and friendly person who always improves the group’s morale (good motivation). Keeps ideas and opinions to him/herself because he/she fears the potential conflicts in the group.Potential Groupmate #4: An honest and straightforward person who tells you if the group is doing good or not. Sometimes ideas are rudely shut down because he/she is not known for being tactful (kind with words).Potential Groupmate #5: A reliable person who meets deadlines and is on time during meetings. Has tendencies to take the credit for other people’s work.Potential Groupmate #6: A person who takes the initiative in the planning phase of projects and activities. After a while becomes disinterested in the project and eventually would laze off during meetings.
