Answer of question 1.
Based on the group-counseling program, I found similarity with Joe, who has attended the
program. Three months ago, I was present in a group discussion session and my mother used
to call me up repeatedly and I asked my team leader to give me permission, so that I could
pick up the call and could get outside of the discussion. Since, I found the group discussion
session very monotonous, hence, I would like to go to outside. However, my team leader
would not like to intervene and would not give permission to break the flow of the discussion
by giving me permission. Apart from this, it was not possible to allow me to pick up the

influence the members in such a way, so that they would identify the importance of
organizing the group counseling session. Consequently, it would be beneficial to maximize
the knowledge and skills of the team members. Apart from this, the group counseling leaders
would need to focus on the staff development planning program and community organizing
technique. Furthermore, group leader also needs to build the organizational assessment and
arrange training session for the members, so that the personal program development process
would be improved more. It would in turn lead to improve the involvement of the team
members in the group-counseling program and hence, the work goals would be achieved.
In order to make group counseling successful, the group members also require to be involved
in the process. Jongsma Jr, Peterson and Bruce (2014) cited that the team members would be
