Analysis of the problem: the problem is analysed in the light of the facts determined. The analysis of a problem entails three goals: to determine why the problem exists, to analyse the ability of the group to accomplish the goal and to specify an appropriate leadership style that is required in order to meet the needs of the group as it accomplishes the goal. 4. Review of different alternatives: all the possible solutions to the problem are generate
