• Identify benefits and drawbacks of each preference (consider Cogs Ladder).
• Explain how these benefits and drawbacks may affect a team members role within the team.
• As a team leader, how important would it be for you to recognize these differences among team member preferences and what could you do to help propel the team through higher stages in team development?
