Which of the following statements reflects behavior that is most likely to derail efforts in making progress towards the goal as a team? a. “sorry, i was late. i hope i didn’t miss too much.”, b.“i figured out how to solve the problem so i’ll speak first.”, c.“i came up with some ideas, but i’m not sure they will work.”, d. “i looked at the data, but haven’t had time to really analyze it yet.”

In making progress towards a shared goal, the one that would most likely hinder the team’s efforts in ensuring that the goal is achieved would definitely be (A) “Sorry, I was late. I hope I didn’t miss too much.”

This is because the individual who arrives late would be missing a part of the discussion, which means that other team members need to update the late individual about the information that he or she missed by not arriving on time. This means the discussion is not as effective as it could have been.

(B) and (C) are actually good team member behavior since it moves the group discussion along, since the individual already has some solutions or ideas in mind to achieve the goal. Though this is not the case for (D), at the very least, the individual has read the relevant information pertaining to the goal that needs to be achieved.
