Document Summary
Initiating - for any group to function, some person(s) must be willing to take initiative. These can be seemingly trivial statements such as "let"s build an agenda" or "it"s time we moved on to the next item," but without them, little task-related activity would occur in a group. People would either sit in silence or side conversations would develop. Seeking information or opinions - the clear and efficient flow of information, facts, and opinions is essential to any task accomplishment. "what do you know about this situation?" and "what solution do you recommend" are examples of seeking information from others in the group. Because decisions should be based on full information, information-seeking statements not only help the seeker but the entire group. Giving information or opinions - in response to the seeking behavior described in #2 or at their own initiative, group members can offer both information and their opinions to aid the group.
