You have just attended a manager's meeting about establishing self-
directed, high-performing teams. The company is concerned because some
of the managers are having success building self-directed, high-
performing teams while others are not. A discussion occurred that
identified the characteristics of the successful team-building
elements and compared them to those of the managers who have not been
successful. This is a situation where those who are struggling need to
learn from those who are doing well. The discussions included
identifying what could be going wrong and what steps might be taken
for success.
You have been asked to write a research report that summarizes the
meeting and offers some recommendations that might be helpful to those
managers who are struggling. Specifically, your report must include
the following:
Identification of the difficulties the managers may be having in
establishing self-directed, high-performing teams
Identification of the successful characteristic of establishing self-
directed, high-performing teams
Recommendations for success
A designed plan that might help guide the struggling managers and
improve negotiation and conflict resolution skills
