2. ?I have created an agenda that identifies the amount of time allotted for each step of the problem-solving
process.?

4. ?The meeting will be called to order at noon and be adjourned in one hour.?
5. ?It is important that each of you is fully engaged in the decision-making process.?
2, 4, 5
Explanation: 1. The effective leader begins and ends a meeting on time and promotes adherence to the
proposed time allocation. Group cooperation and engagement should be promoted. Assuming
responsibility for the mission and goals is incorrect because it is the group?s responsibility to
develop the mission and goals of the task force. Not taking time to address dissension is
incorrect because an effective leader will elicit the expression of dissenting opinions.
