Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The other task specialist behaviors listed require initiative, such as initiating ideas and energizing others. Task specialists also need strong communication skills, including summarizing information and seeking information from others. However, compromising is more of a role for someone with strong interpersonal and conflict resolution skills, rather than a task specialist.
