Common team member roles can be grouped into three categories: group task roles, group maintenance roles, and self-oriented roles. The self-oriented roles are concerned with personal needs of the group members and may sometimes negatively impact the effectiveness of the group as a whole. Four types of roles are seen in this category: 1) aggressor—deflates the contribution of the group by attacking their ideas or displaying excessive competitiveness, 2) blocker—has a tendency to be negative, stubborn, or resistant to new ideas, 3) recognition seeker—seeks attention, boasts about accomplishments and capabilities, and 4) dominator—tries to assert control through manipulation or using flattery, giving orders, or interrupting others.
