In an eight- to ten-page paper (not including the title and reference pages), research teams and groups in organizations. Your paper must be in narrative form and address each of the following:
1. Interview and discuss the items below with a team leader in the organization you currently work for. Research an example in the Ashford University Library if you do not have access to a team leader in an organization.
a. How do you determine the size of the team?
b. What types of team conflict occur? How do you resolve conflict?
c. Does it take longer to complete tasks in a team environment?
d. Do you have "resisters" to teamwork? If so, how do you manage that?
e. Do you look at teams as a more efficient way of doing work?
2. Identify a challenge facing organizational leadership (in your selected organization) and describe the group behavior that could aid in meeting that challenge.
3. Describe a change occurring in your organization and explain how you would manage the change process.
4. Determine which tasks should be handled by groups and which should be handled by individuals. Provide a rationale.
