Leader Perform Mostly Task 29Follow The Requireme
Part I.
Watch a prime time
television show (or rerun) in which the episode focuses on a group of people
who are talking to each other in formal or informal meetings as the context for
the show. You may choose from the following: The Office, Law & Order, the
Shield, 24, The Unit, or reruns of shows such as Friends, Seinfeld, or Everyone
Loves Raymond. If you would like to use a different show, send a message to
your instructor to get approval for your choice. Take notes while you watch the
show so that you can notice and recall who played group task roles, group
maintenance roles, and any self-centered roles. Your notes in Part I should be
integrated into your answers to the assignment questions in Part II.
Note: This assignment is
not referring to communication that occurs because of people’s personalities or
job skills. Please refer to Figure 9.1 in your textbook for specific group
communication roles.
If the show you have
selected does not give you an opportunity to observe a small group working
together in the particular episode you have chosen, please choose another
episode or show. It will be difficult for you to answer the questions well if
the show does not match the purpose of this assignment. However, you can
discuss poor examples of group communication roles as well as good examples and
show your learning. You do not have to find only good examples of group
communication roles. If you cannot find a show with a group of people who are
very clearly in a small group communication situation, then you may need to
discuss a real-life group of people who are communicating with each other in a
small group situation.
