4, 1, 3, 2, 5
Explanation: First, the leader must assess to determine who is interested in serving on the team, and then assess
each interested person?s past experiences, level of interest, and the existence of any hidden agendas.
Then, observing during a meeting will give information about and diagnose possible problems with
individual members, member-member relationships, and overall functioning. The leader may
schedule a retreat to work through some of these issues as a team (implementation). Finally,
evaluation of the group?s overall effectiveness is the final step to ensure problems are addressed and
goals are reached.
