• Your status in the group
• The roles associated with your status
• What type of leader(s) lead(s) the group (instrumental, democratic,
expressive, laisse-faire, or authoritarian) and what that type of leadership entails (in other words, what does the leader do that reflects of their type of leadership)?

Imagine your ideal (paid or unpaid) employment and answer each of the following questions:
• What would be your ideal status and role in the workplace (be specific)? Define status and role as part of your answer.
• What kind of organization would you like to work for (utilitarian, normative, or something else) and why?
• What type of leadership style would you most prefer for your boss to have and/or for you to have (instrumental, democratic, expressive, laisse-faire, or authoritarian), and why?
• As you think of your future career goals, whom do you regard as your reference group, and why?
