1. Think about a positive experience when you worked in a group or team and identify the principles that were presented in the articles that were exhibited by your group or team. Explain how these principles helped the group or team succeed.
2. Think about a negative experience when you worked in a group or team and identify which principles from the articles were lacking.
Explain how the lack of these principles led to poor performance of the group or team.
