Sometimes, the team-building process generates pressures on individual members, such as requests for higher levels of task performance. Such requests could have negative results unless accompanied by agreement for further one-to-one negotiations among team members.

Methods to meet these needs for control and influence without causing feelings of isolation can be explored.
