Being in a task group, you are defined by a particular goal. Even if it is a reoccurring goal, it is one that has to have a clear task that has to be met. That takes time and effort for the lead of that group to set that up as perimeters for the task group. Each member must also keep in mind that each person has a different value system, background, and up bringing which creates diversity and sometimes frustration when balancing all of that within a group. Even with all the different values of people, it is important to have all types of personality within a group as well because not all can be extraverts or introverts.

Learn how, “people are energized, information they pay attention to, how decisions are made, and who likes to organize.” (Tubbs, 2012, p.127) Then you will have all personality types working within their character as well as their values toward a common goal.
