Unit 2 assessment
Question 1 Corporations have downsized over the last 25 to
30 years and, as a result, have eliminated layers of management—particularly
middle management. To what degree, if any, does this change the role of the
leader?
Your response should be at least 75 words in length.
Question 2 What steps should project managers take in order
to ensure that the work of the project team is distributed equally among the
members of the team? What can team members do to support the project manager in
this effort?
Your response should be at least 75 words in length.
Question 3 Project teams often experience conflict in
various forms. Describe at least three approaches to dealing with and resolving
conflict between individual team members. Identify which, if any, should be
considered as the optimal approach.
Your response should be at least 75 words in length.
Question 4 The punctuated equilibrium model suggests that
teams eventually gel and begin to perform once time constraints become a
pressing concern. In your experience, does this model reflect actual team
development and performance, or does the five-stage model of team development
offer a more realistic approach?
Your response should be at least 75 words in length.
Question 5 Can virtual teams be as successful as onsite
teams? Why, or why not?
Your response should be at least 75 words in length.
