You are the chairperson for the medical center’s Falls Prevention Committee. This Committee was formed a month ago. You notice that the committee members are pleasantly engaging others and there are no signs of conflict. What should you do as the chair of this Committee?
  1. Know that groups must be conflict free in order to be productive
  2. Know that groups must always be pleasant in order to be productive
  3. Lead the group through this forming stage because it is expected in newly forming groups
  4. Lead the group through this norming stage because it is expected in newly forming groups
Explanation
Answer: C - The chairperson of this Committee should lead the group through this forming stage because it is expected in newly forming groups. This first phase of group development is characterized with a pleasant and comfortable environment where members are beginning to get to know each other and are striving to be liked by others. This stage, despite the fact that it is pleasant, will predictably be followed by the storming phase which is marked with conflict and disagreement, a necessary phase for group growth.
