2. Identify and write down a few objectives for the team-building session. For example, you may feel that the roles and responsibilities of group members are not clear and that you would like to focus on clarifying role expectations. Or you may decide you need to personally practice using one of the four roles—communicator, contributor, collaborator, or challenger—in group meetings. Make sure that your objectives are actually focused on group, rather than individual, dynamics. For example, if you are a group leader and have someone in your group who is exhibiting negative behaviors, you might find it more appropriate to meet privately with the individual.
