Assume the role of a group of jazz musicians who recently started performing together. Each member of the group has had some individual success as a musician and hopes that the group will become a top-performing jazz ensemble. The immediate goals of the group are to develop a repertoire of pieces that showcase each member's individual strengths and display the energy, vitality, and creativity of the group as a whole; to play as many gigs as possible at bars and clubs within a 300km radius of home; and to start making contacts with recording companies. The group's long-term goal is to be a nationally visible and successful jazz group with a major-label recording contract.

The group has got together and played several times both with and without audience present and thinks it has what it takes to "make it big". The group realises, however, that it needs to get its act together to meet both its short- and long-range goals.

Questions:

-1. What roles, rules, and norms should the musicians develop to help achieve group effectiveness/goals?
