Address the following:What types of group roles are there? Name and describe at least six different roles. Also, note that similar roles are known by different names, for example, leader and facilitator. What you call a role is not as important as doing a good job of explaining the purpose and duties of each role.Can some roles have more than one person in that role in one group? If so, which roles are they? Which roles, if any, cannot have more than one person in the role in one group? Why?Can you rank the roles in order of importance? If yes, do so and explain your ranking. If you could not rank the roles, explain why. Is it because all roles are equally important?What role do you tend to play in groups? Is it a role you choose because you enjoy it or because you are just naturally good at it?We have all had to struggle with some roles we were required to play. Describe such an experience from your personal or professional life.
