In fact, these verbal patterns determine whether individuals even understand what’s going on.

        • Understanding how to play the role

        • Playing the 10 task roles that insure the job gets done.

        • How to play 6 relationship roles to build bonds between individuals

        • Recognizing and controlling the 10 self-oriented roles that disrupt groups
