1. Discuss the stages of team development: forming, storming, norming, performing, adjourning. Identify and discuss the determinants and consequences of cohesiveness as they apply at each stage. Please include the negative impact of "groupthink", and other factors, for each of the team development stages.
2. Discuss the pros/cons of the 3 types of teams: functional, cross-functional, self-managed. Think of an opportunity at your current or former employer to serve an internal or external market (or key customer). Create a self-managed team. State the purpose, set a major goal, and identify the skill sets, attitudes, and knowledge desired for your team members. Identify the individuals needed for your team - from any department or organizational level (management and/or staff) including external stakeholders. Include a description of the roles for each team member.
