1. Why is it important for an organization to have a mission? 2. Why is it important for team members to know their roles on a team? 3. Is competition within a team a good or bad thing? Explain your response. 4. Why is it important to set short- and long-term goals when planning a meeting regarding conflicts? Provide examples. 5. What is an unhealthy agreement? Why is it significant for leaders to understand how to resolve conflict and avoid unhealthy agreements?
