Exercise 3.4: Applying the Distributed-Functions Approach GOAL: This exercise is designed to show you that you already have taken on leadership functions in a group. The distributed-functions approach asserts that every member of a group will be a leader at times by taking actions that serve group functions. Identify a group that you are currently in or that you were a member of in the past. Describe the actions you took that were useful to the group. (When you made positive contributions to this group, you were taking on leadership responsibilities.)
