THE GROUP

LEADER DILEMMA
Engage Module 4 Unit 2
Situation:
◦ In one of your subjects, your instructor
assigned you to lead a group to
accomplish a project. Additionally, the
instructor required every leader to pick
two (2) more people to be included in
their group.
Continuation:
◦ After the instructor met with the leaders, the groups
started forming immediately. People who have known
each other for so long naturally grouped up together.
While people who kept to themselves or have no
specific circles are waiting to be picked. You are left
with 6 people to choose from:
 Potential
Groupmate #1
A knowledgeable person who has
a great grasp of most of the subject
matter. Due to always being in the
top, he/she has tendencies to
arrogantly criticize every move if
they are less than what they
consider as ‘perfect’.
Potential
Groupmate #2
A very hardworking person who
tries to give his/her own share of
the work. Being engaged in
various extracurricular activities
and groups, his/her share would be
given with delay and might not
attend almost all meet-ups for the
activity.
 Potential
Groupmate #3
An optimistic and friendly person
who always improves the group’s
morale (good motivation). Keeps
ideas and opinions to him/herself
because he/she fears the potential
conflicts in the group.
Potential
Groupmate #4
An honest and straightforward
person who tells you if what the
group is doing good or not.
Sometimes ideas are rudely
shutdown because he/she is not
known for being tactful (kind with
words).
 Potential
Groupmate #5
A reliable person who meets
deadline and is on time during
meetings. Has tendencies to take
the credits of other people’s work.
Potential
Groupmate #6
A person who takes the initiative
in the planning phase of projects
and activities. After a while
becomes disinterested in the
project and eventually would laze
off during meetings.
