According to Riva, group leader role(s) include which of the following?

• A. Group member selection
• B. Positive leader-member relationships
• C. Traffic director
• D. A & B

Answer: (D)

Group leadership hinges on two foundational responsibilities: deciding who joins the group and building strong, positive connections with those members. Selecting group members helps ensure there’s a fit with the group’s goals, maintains safety, and supports healthy interaction patterns from the start. Equally important is establishing a warm, trusting leader–member relationship; when members feel respected and valued by the leader, they’re more likely to participate openly, take risks, and stay engaged in the process. Together, these roles create the conditions needed for productive group work and meaningful change. The idea of a traffic director isn’t considered a primary leadership responsibility in this framework, so it isn’t included with these core roles.
