Which statement describes the way in which most groups are formed?
1. Members with common goals come together and start working on the group?s tasks.
2. People in the group work toward a common understanding of the purpose and member roles.
3. The informal leaders of the group make sure everyone knows the purpose to avoid conflict.
4. Relationship building is not necessary as the group forms because members already work together.

Explanation: 1. As the members come together, the leader must explain the purpose, tasks required, and
behavior expected. The group forms without a concrete understanding of how the goal(s) for
the group will be met. Understanding specific tasks involved takes time and at the beginning,
some conflict is expected and helpful. This builds the group relationship among members to a
cohesive group with a formal structure and function.
