group roles

Group roles are specific functions individuals adopt within a team to ensure effective collaboration. Each role, such as leader, facilitator, recorder, or contributor, helps coordinate tasks, communicate ideas, and support group goals. Roles can be assigned or naturally emerge based on skills and tendencies. Clearly defined roles prevent confusion, promote accountability, and enhance productivity by ensuring everyone understands their responsibilities and how they contribute to the group's success. Effective teams balance different roles, leveraging each member’s strengths to work smoothly toward shared objectives.
